I took the boat out of the water earlier than normal since my wife is expecting any day now. With all the nice weather we've been having it's been driving me crazy!

You all are a bunch of troublemakers!!!!
For what it's worth, let me tell you about my summer after discovering that I had a broken rocker arm. There were two broken pushrods, three broken lifters, four cracked lifter tiebars..... Fixed it and changed the camshaft over to a hydraulic roller from solids. I figured that I would run the boat for the rest of the season and then change the other engine's cam out over the winter. Went out to test run it and discovered why the rocker broke....The other engine was down on power, waaayy down. New short block, new heads and 30K later, I'm back on the water. Nobody is making fun of you Jay, we're just trying to let you know that shoes usually wear evenly.....along with most other things!!! Check both engines out thoroughly (compression and leakdown tests) and do it right!!!
Good luck!
