Marine Diesel mechanic needed in the SF Bay who is experienced in repowers

I've got a 27' 1981 Farallon fishing boat with a 350 GM gasser that I need yanked. I've got a 250hp Cummins 6BTA that I need put in along with a ZF 220a gear. Straight shaft boat, looking to keep the existing shaft.

Don't want to get raped by the craigslist goons and I trust FTE more than anywhere else. I don't have an endless checkbook and i'm looking to get it done in my backyard or frontyard. It's on a trailer.

Send me a PM if you have done this before.

Give Charlie a call at Aabco @ 925-456-2226. He is in Livermore and I know he did swap out twin gassers on his boat for diesels. He might be interested. Great guy!

Thanks Hanklin, I gave Charlie a call. Looks like he will be kind enough to give me phone support!! But he's not mobile so I will have to take the boat/engine to him in Livermore if I need any hands-on assistance. But this is still a plus! So thank you again!

I am the most overwhelmed by the engine alignment.
