Been there.

The best advice I can give you is to leave it where it broke down and hope someone steals it. Then, take up golf.

This is a very expensive sport and it's exceptionally unforgiving on the unprepared. It's tough on the guys who have unlimited boating budgets and have all new stuff. Ask Gino

I've often wondered about this alternative. I've come to realize that in boating I break my stuff accidentally. If I were to golf I would be wrapping titanium drivers around trees just to feel better

Makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one re-powering against my will this offseason...

Try building your motor for 6 weeks only to find out someone dropped a nut in the intake that landed between the piston and the head.....and didnt say a word about it to you....

I couldn't believe that one when I read it. I was telling my nephew about that last week, we both just shook our heads.

28 Excel is what got me hooked over fifteen years ago. It had a 502 bm supercharger Eickert exhaust it ran in the high sixties maybe touch low seventies every once in a while it was a cool boat. Good luck with yours welcome to liquid hot rodding!!!
