Well done - she is beautiful (understatement). And the website is very easy to follow. We own a 1983 GB 36 Classic, and Rose Mary's elegance is something to aspire to. Thank you for sharing on here and good luck. I'll pass the word around down here in the South.

Great information in this thread - thank you. We're working through 'where did the water come from in the fuel' as well. One step I see suggested here, as well in other situations, is to close the water intake to the engine before flushing the lines. Could someone explain why that helps? I'm...

I just need to share my new favorite marina with all of you on this forum. My husband and I did some boat slip shopping on Winyah Bay yesterday. (We have a Grand Banks 36 under contract; fingers crossed that the survey doesn't give us any surprises and Georgetown, SC becomes her new home)...
