thanks guys ! it was quite the task to do all that work . I made some calls and found out prices to have the work done and it was insane . after talking to Pat and a few others me and my buddy GMCHEVYTECH decided we would do it ourselves . I heard from 6k to 9k for someone to do it , I was able to do it myself for $1600 including new vinyl floor . but like the only other power boat I have owned fix 1 problem and now onto the next ......

I hope you didnt get any pics of me. The boat was nasty. It was a spur of the moment friday evening run. lol Everything was great at the house and then filled the tanks and stired more sh** up. Finally got it going and had a heck of a night at Buzzard Rock.
