Hey! Sorry about my lack of location. I'm in Puerto Lindo (near Portobello) on the Caribe side. It's pretty remote, but I've managed to find a decent mechanic and I think I'll be able to figure it out for much, much cheaper. You heading across the pond in 2015?

You didn't say where you were in Panama. I'm in Balboa YC and may be able to point you at a good mechanic. Rewiring the engines, even if you need it, shouldn't cost anywhere near what you were quoted.
