Well I ended up buying a water pump from a local vendor. Not only did he have it within 24 hours it was cheaper than anyone anywhere. If you ever need perkins parts, racor filters etc... check out this guy he knows what he's talking about and does right by his customers http://fortpiercediesel.com/
That said water pump is in, just finished it minutes ago, FLOORS ARE DONE and PAINTING IS DONE!!!!
We still have one portlight to install and the others have shipped however we'll do those when we get back.
weather so far is not looking good for departing this thursday, with any luck things will change. I have a few minor things to fix, gotta finish the ice machine face and shelf as well as installing the backup bilge pump i've been wanting to get setup.
