Scott - actually I was bored and just called them to see what the price was. My 250's are fine and I'll run them for a very loooooooog time to come.
Since they have never been laid up this long I'll be pretty careful on the sea trial and running her back to the camp. Cummins Mid South had just changed the turbo to exhaust manifold gasket on the stb side before the storm, and had changed the port a couple of years ago, so coolant side should be fine. I have the Tony Athens super impellers in the Sherwood pumps, so hope they survived the layup. When I get her home plan to spend a month or so going thru every system, lube, spray with CX, paint, clean, sort out the mess, inventory the spares, change engine zincs, do the teak, replace the Glass Tech hatch gaskets, put new Soundown in the engine boxes, get my canvas guy to repair the Stamoid cockpit sunshade etc, etc. I enjoy doing all this and keeping old AJ on the top of her game. Having her in the back yard at the camp in fresh water and a full shop a few steps across the lawn sure makes upkeep a snap.
