Greetings. We are getting ready to launch our Wilbur 44 in Maryland after bringing her home from Chicago via the Great Lakes last summer. She was built in 1991 at Mt Desert Island Boatworks and finished at Wilbur Yachts. Powered with twin 3208 TA Cats (375hp). Hopefully we have addressed most of the major issues: New Mathers controller on bridge, new pillow block and cutlass bearings, new shafts, new electronics, new vacuflush heads, bottom stripped and painted, rebedded rails, replaced all 110v sockets, installed galvanic isolators, sealed any leaks we could find, installed Olsson davits, rewired starting system, added Racor to generator, installed PSSs, replaced all engine mounts (the aft ones were broken!) Engines were surveyed by Patten Caterpillar in Michigan who did a great job addressing a few minor issues. Our last boat was a 38ft sailing catamaran. Glad the price of Diesel is lower this season!
