A--Another

Marina--5K

Poker runs--2K
Owning a 42 EX "PRICELESS"

Whatever you buy, try to get motors with closed loop cooling. Keeps the salt water out of the engine itself. Only parts that get the salt water are the pumps, heat exchanger, and headers. Less wear and tear on the internals.

sorry but that ain't up-to-date anymore!!

B - Bend
O - Over
A - And
T - TAKE IT

It's still the most fun any stupid amount of money will get ya.

I like that even better, the good thing about having a Fountain is you get some vaseline when you get bent over and still look forward to driving the boat when it is done. You are right about the most fun that you can have throwing stupid money at it.
