In Reply to: Need a Rebuilt Atomic 4 (late model) posted by P.J. Schneider on 08/11/00 at 8:39 AM:


I would like to add a mechanics referral list on my web site to assist people in finding a
mechanic when they need one. With so many sailboat mechanics specializing in diesel engines,
I think we need to try and support those who are familiar with and will work on Atomic Four
engines. Even though many of youmay do all of your own work now, someday you or someone
you know may need their help. This is what I have so far. Thank you to those of you who
have made recommendations. If anyone else has any to recommend, please do so.

I had great service from Dan Lockwood at Dodson Boatyard in Stonington
