I'll have to look for pictures, dont think i have them, but when I hooked coming off of a wave on the ole Mini Hawk, the motor came off! It was dangling under water still hooked up. Boat started to sink also!

Or recent this year, when the oil to gas ratio was bad, and the motor locked up and ruined it.

I have blown 5 drives 3 motor mount on my mini cat almost sunk my jet boat twice because the motor mount was broke and after jumping it the exhust broke and all the water that would be shot out of the exhust shot into the motor compartmant. I have broke a few motor mounts on my seadoo(7motor mounts in one summer in alll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and a ton of radios gone out from jumping!!!!

No pic's but cracked the manafolds and cracked the gamble ring. All fixed and sold the boat better then when it was mine. Now looking for a new to me boat. After this thread I am still looking and asking my self why.

Don't ask. Major regret

After looking at this thread, I'm asking myself why I bought a boat?:lolhit:

because you must love the sun, water, loud engines, and bikinis with the option of a icy cold beverage and hopefully no idiots around you for the entire day :drink:

WTF?
I have to hear the story behind this.

Thank you for reminding me why I left mine stock, 108K daily driver.

After writing that, I bet my trans blows next week......
