I guess if I decide the peice of starter is wedged in the flywheel and the engine needs to be pulled, I'll trailer it over to Performance Plus in Clearwater and have Nick do it. I can't find anyone over here I trust. Nick had to do the exact same thing on this boat when Bill owned it, so he is familiar with the process. I guess that high compression engine is hard on starters.

I'm also thinking about just going ahead and send the Donzi to Nick tomorrow when Debbie has to go to St Pete to pick up her son.

Well, because of Russ's contunual nagging, I got out and tried to turn the motor by hand. No go. It won't turn in either direction, I think the starter chunk is hung in the flywheel.

I'm sending the Donzi with Deb tomorrow to PPM and have it fixed. When it's done, I'll send her with the Formula, drop it off, and bring back the Donzi. I just can't find anyone in this area I trust. Nick has done work for me before, and I couldn't ask for better service, and he's familiar with the Formula.

Maybe I should just get Nick on a retainer.

Now now it's not nagging, it's just gentle persuasion, you know like what I had to listen to for 379 days.

However, in honor of Cuda being Cuda I have decided to credit you one day so the count stands now at 47 rather than 48.

I think we should start making predictions about what the "Outlaw Count" will end at.

Jon, would you be kind enough to be first to "predict"??????

Now it's 48

hmmmmmmmmm........................................ ..................................

Halfway to 100.

I did do some sanding on the 20 today, does that count?

Certainly, if you were hanging over the side while it was up on plane.
