Vice grip garage style rescue. Can we get this 1979 Bertram 28 that we bought, sight unseen, running again and drive it 1400 miles on the water back home to Florida?

Doing part of the great loop in a boat I bought sight unseen across the country. We take this 1979 Bertram 28 from Massachusetts down to Fort Lauderdale, the boating capitol of the world.
This first trip for episode one is from Mattapoisett MA to a small harbor near New Port CT. We ran slow in complete darkness and freezing temperatures but made it safely.


We encountered trouble with one of the 270 Crusader motors which is basically a marine small block Chevy sbc. Found a new distributor cap and got her going.

Follow along as we make our way across the country North to South and pass many ports and beautiful cities and towns on this section of the great loop by boat.
