After years of faithful service, it was finally time to put the old Detroit Diesels to rest. In Spring 2007 the MISS LIS took some downtime and we installed new Mitsubishis, Reintjes Marine Gears and other components. They work like a charm - in 2009 alone the engines put in over 48,000 trouble-free miles of towing.
