A new powerboat magazine just did a pice on Gun Smoke, it is a great looking Apache 28, but it is alittle over the top for me!!, I installed the new sea water pumps tonight, it flows water now!!!!!, I will have some GPS speed #'s this weekend.

Well Andy, I guess I am in the same boat as you, my motors went up tonight on my test run, They dont overheat anymore!!!!, Right motor have a rod nock, and left motor broke the timing chain, I guess I am getting new motors??

brave the boat look's great, sorry to hear about the motors :mad:

I dont know if I am going to sell it, put motors in or buy another boat??

Man that sucks. Really sorry to hear that Bill, I can't imagine your frustration. These big HP engines are just not worth it to me. Sounds like you may be able to fix them. Did you ever get it out in the rough before the motors blew? My current plan is to sit on the boat for 3-5 years and put in some brand new 496HO's......with extended warranty. She won't see 80, but atleast she will see water. That should give me a ton of time to slowly restore the boat. Hell, that will give me enough time to have a kid, and grow-up big enough to ride with me, which is exactly whats going to happen.

I just listed her in the classifieds :mad:
