I don't know if that changes things but you need to put an E at the end.
Let me know if this is helpful.
I have had my renovation documented by the wonderful people at pearsonariel.org , my pictures are in this site somewhere. I will need to catch up to the world again. I hurt my back and have been down for two years.
I am trying to begin the interior now. Looking at proceeding as soon as I know what I am going to do.

I did the same replacement engine , 13.5 Beta Marine I am as happy as can be.
I replaced out a VIRE 6. Zoom Zoom

# 100 Orinoco Flow

My cabin trim look like propellers mounted on 8 penny nails that were pounded through some old front door woodwork trim. Cabinet drawers stand on their own, as long as I remember to walk around them, instead of through them when I leave for work around 5:30am (I exit through the garage). Cabinet doors pose as Modified Alkyd Resin laden mobiles suspended from 50 pound test fishing line swaying in the aromatic breezes of Exempt Mineral Spirits. Those pesky hatch covers will receive the required 12-20 coats per side and sometime in 2009 they will be introduce to Hull #100 with a pomp and ceremony Elton John will be proud of.  Yes, my family is packing up and leaving for Nantucket. Yes, I will feel some guilt as they are leaving. (but they constantly and selfishly complain about fumes permeating throughout the house), (what fumes, I ponder). Yet I know when I summons them to return home in 2009 they will dance with glee on the marina green proudly proclaiming that bright work belongs to my husband and father. Yes, we helped him to its completion.

I am in the process of doing my hatch covers (teak) and I'm using McCloskey  Man O War and they are looking great in my garage. I was told this is the best any thought about this

I'm returning to life here, after damaging my back enough to stay away from Orinoco Flow hull #100 for almost two and half years. All's well that ends well.
Adding electronics, and installed a 13 1/2 HP beta marine diesel with a 11 1/2 gallon fuel tank under the cockpit. Kind of fun pulling to the dock and fueling up Orinoco with diesel. I had it with my VIRE 6 gasoline engine. The engine was 44 years old the 6 supposed to represent its Horse Power, I think they meant 0.6 HP. Well, I hope to participate with you guys this year. Che, I am in Sausalito as well Plaza Marine slip 66.
