Update: I still have the boat. Yes, my 1990 Cooper Prowler still sits in the marina.
The boat is in much better shape than when I acquired it, but still needs lots of work. I can only work on it on weekends, as I'm not full time live-aboard. For a regular guy like me, I think this is ongoing commitment.
This is what I've done, with some help from this forum:
Rebuilt and replaced the missing port side engine. Successfully repowered my port side Mercruiser, fresh-water cooled 454 engine. Runs good now. Also revamped cooling/ventilation system and exhaust, driveshaft alignment. Painted bilge on port side. Everything that was involved in getting it here, is a big "nuther" story.
Bottom paint, and replace trim tabs.
Made changes in the galley (microwave, stove, fridge, etc.) and some cabinet work.
Pulled starboard engine - ready to send small block to engine builder. Already have new heads and I will send all the cooling stuff to local radiator shop for refurbishment.
I will putt "Hiatus" to the boatyard - for haul out. They will crane the starboard engine block from my fantail, to the back of my truck: to bring to rebuilder. This will be the first time that Hiatus has cruised under her own power (albeit on one engine) for at least 10 years.
I will also replace dripless shaft seals, when I'm dry docked.
That's it, so far.
