I could not out run a guy in a Kayak without a paddle.
We tore the drive apart today. Pull off the top cap, and there was metal pieces on top of the bearing about the size of bb's. After pulling it rest of the way apart the vertical shaft has teeth missing. It's been my experience, that this is "NOT TO GOOD". I got a good price on a new Bravo One X drive. I will order it Monday, and send the prop off and hopefully I will get everything put back together by next weekend. I might have to use my old prop in the meantime, but at least I will be back in business.
Sonya got a kick out of the duck picture. That duck did not have a care in the world.

Sorry Jeff to hear about your troubles. I'm pushing the 18 MPG while towing with my 272. I'm really getting 17.6 MPG while towing

Good news. Insurance paid for everything. Nationwide Insurance is the best as far as I'm concerned. Outdrive will be here Wednesday.

I got the outdrive, just now. The pieces are falling into place. It's looking good for the weekend. Hopefully we can get everything back together tonight, depending on wether it rains or not.
Darin says the prop will be back on Friday, so that will finish us up.
He said that he was going to make it faaaaast also.
Watch out "Dock".
