Well that sucks.Becareful with that bad azz boat cool.
We took our boat out last saturday and had a blast.A nationwide marina,Marinemax was having their annual summer customer thank you day.Free beer,burgers and brats.

The people from Marinemax never saw an SCS before and they loved the boat.They could not beleive my boat was a 1997.They thought it was a brand new boat because of the condition.

One of the salesman says to me,"come on in monday and we'll get you out the that Scarab and into a Sea Ray".And I said only if it's a Pachanga.

NOT!

Love that boat 502, Well the broken key is removed and replaced, the outdrive skeg will be welded tomorrow. It didn't affect the boat but it looks ugly so my buddy is going to just build up the tip and then we will shape it. Got my drive shower installed. I was wondering the hose between the p/s pump and the imco tank it does not appear to be pressurized but is a steel reinforced hose. Anyway the reason I ask is it is weeping a bit and there is not enough hose to trim and clamp again, so i was going to use regular bulk hydraulic hose
