Never fails!
 
No mater how much you plan and prepare, the only thing i can count on is something going wrong to throw a wrench in my plans.
Weeks of preparation, making plans and 2 days before the boat is scheduled to leave for Havasu, we hurt a motor during testing. For 2:00 yesterday until 5:00 pm today I have done nothing but try and get a replacement motor or pair of motors. At 5 pm today I went home with a migraine, beat like a whipped dog. Out of options. I laid on the crunch and took a nap and just woke up recharged. I'm going to give it one last try tomorrow.

Anyone have a set of Sterling 1550's quad rotors they want to sell. I figure it's a long shot but it's worth asking.

I'm not out yet and really want to make it. Anyone have any feasible solutions, let me know.

Actually Bill Pyburn offered to loan me his other long blocks. Very nice jesture, that i appreciate very much. Just not enough time for all that.

Get John T to get a set of the new Merc twin turbo's. Get Mercury then to set them up for max HP with no warranty. Just $.....you might like them long term. Rigging, tail pipes, etc. would be a challenge with the tight window.

At a minium, all this activity would be fun!
