If you had a turbine boat or could get these Mercs to change over and burn this stuff Activeshack had me around this weekend with no tax stamp they'd probably run faster and cheap.
I also saw the new aquatic ,possible X-Rated, drive-in theater on the Chickahominy...THEY SURE DO KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME ON THE CHICKAHOMINY!!!!!!!!!!!:drink :

Darn!
Macklin & I usually get to run together on the 1st splash. My boat is waiting on tailpipes. Hope to finish it 100% next Saturday and be ready for shakedown 1st weekend in May.
Mac, mark that weekend - lets burn some dino oil!

Succesful splash today....after a new fuel pump "Kit" from mercruiser and only $120.00 of fuel The "kit" is complete BS, mercury must have a load of unused fuel coolers that they need to get rid of so they put them in the box and charge an extra $150. Got it in and fired it up, checked all the fluids and took a short VERY windy ride on the Susquehanna River (no Rivah there) Fueled it up and put it away. Is it the weekend yet?
