big thanks to the cult at boyne thunder
 
Big thanks to tom (rock climber & crew) for the parts, knowledge, tools and help.

Thanks to sydways for the help and scanning my boat too.

Unfortunately despite all efforts we still wernt able to do the run.

There's always next year.

We had a blast, sorry about your bad luck.

Brian - Thank You for grabbing my boat and putting it in the slip, greatly appreciated. Would have never made my sons baseball game in time with out the help!

#7 exhaust rocker got out of alignment and the pushrod came out of the dimple and up along side of it. Replaced the parts and its still missing.

Might be done for the season dunno yet.

Damn, aren't those fresh top ends/ rebuilds????

The rocker that got messed up had already been replaced since it was different than the rest. So It's happened before. Dunno how much of anything I believe about my boats maintenance history anymore. O well. Atleast ill know its done right from now on.

Tom (rock climber) had the exact same thing happen to his 525 too. Same rocker and everything.


Will see what ck motorsports figures out this week. Both motors might be going under the knife for some bigger power.

Sorry you had the trouble and let's hope it's not that bad.

Hopefully I can get it through the summer and plan the overhaul for the motors over the winter.

I see high 90's in my future!
