So, does that mean you are keeping it now and this thread can live on??

LOL, yes, I kept the boat! So, yes, they will live on! Have probably put more hours on her this year than I have in the past 5 years!
Actually, she is in the shop this week, had some water getting in to oil. Ended up being a lil corrostion on bottom of intake and also lower drive cable split. Hope to have her back next week!

Shes been good, first time I had to put her in the shop since I bought her in spring of 2013 other than small items that I had to change (sensors and crap (iac, tps, etc.)
