579ps

#579 was gutted and the deck stripped. A Volvo-Penta Diesel (2002 series,18HP) installed with the 7degree down angle transmission which allowed the engine to be more forward take weight off the stern. The bridge deck was lowered about a foot to make the entrance easier. The chrome and nickel was stripped off the portlights and buffed to a high polish bronze before powder coating for preservation of the bronze.
