I think that might be the only thing that might help a little. Man I hope the poor guy posts something more on the lines of took my family out on the boat for an awesome weekend boat ran great everyone was having a great time ect ect...

Come on down to Dale Hollow Lake and I'll have all the vodka (and tequila) you'll want.

Sorry if I was a downer to anyone with all of the issues with this thing - some of them were my fault, but a lot of them weren't. It just underlines the old saying - if it has tits or tires, it's going to be trouble. This thing literally came down to the 11th hour - ran it today for about an hour. I know that's not enough time to know for sure all the bugs are out, but I'm satisfied that it's running well enough to take it. Never cracked it over 3500 RPM just to be safe. I'll hammer it after this trip is over - it would be just my luck to shag a drive the night before we leave. And yes, the kids are excited to have the boat again. Couldn't resist to mess with them when we got back from water testing it and acted like it was broke again. And for once, I'm relaxed about this thing.

It's all good. We bust your balls but glad to be able to help a fellow out. That's what the forums are really about. Glad to hear it's running. Enjoy your trip with the family bud.
