One scarab had a bad starter and the other scarab was a fuel pump..Sounds like a lot of people had some bad luck .I know I hurt my liver for 3 days straight :evilb:

Racer-X6

Sorry about the bad luck. That drive looks EXACTLY like mine from a year ago.

It was a top cap failure.

But some Billet top caps on and you will have better luck.

Re: My Tickfaw 200 trip
 

I grenaded a drive while looking for somewhere for my friend Matt Smith (in David Woods's boat, Royal Flush) find a ramp to get his boat out while on the way to the 3:30 Chicken Drop place. I should not have been trying to keep up with Matt (Royal Flush is a 42 Lightning with big power and wet sump #6's) doing 75-80 on that 2-foot chop (I have a 35 Lightning with stock 500HP's and Bravos). This was my first Poker Run with this boat and now I'm looking at 2K for the starboard drive and hoping it will be running by Memorial Day.

It was fun till she broke, though!

Guys... Y'all aren't going to believe this sh!t. All I broke was seals and one bearing. :evilb: The bearing is what seized up... seal let the water in to cause it. Everything else is fine. We almost checked that the Wednesday before, too. New boat -- too much to check and trying to get it to the run too soon. :mad: Oh well, how many other people that broke would have spent more on the gas for the run than the repair? I am pretty happy. See you guys for Royal Purple, if not sooner.

P.S. I love the fact that the guy that stole my phone said I was still at the bar drinking with my throttleman. :drink: Next time I see that wino, I'm taking him for a boat ride. I bet he comes back a white guy. :drink: :evilb:
