RE: Perkins 135hp diesel questions (slight smoke)

hmm...I edited my link as it was wrong and now it says my post needs to be approved by a moderator? I must have messed something up!

Thanks Martin- I agree- it looked like steam to me but it seemed to be a lot more steam and lasting longer into the sea trial than I would have thought it would. To be candid, the purchase price on this boat is such that I have not bothered to get a survey. However, after today, a good friend of mine who is a surveyor is coming out with me tomorrow to look her over "unofficially" to see what is what. I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth so to speak (this boat is a serious once in a lifetime deal) but at the same time, I don't want another extra $10k in work I wasn't planning on. I've got enough to do on her already!
