Close to 100 hours this summer. Changed out a coil last week, had an engine miss that would only happen after running for an hour or 2 at cruise. Changed the fuel filters and found no water so I figure the coil is starting to break down. Seemed to cure the problem. Went to the ramp Tuesday nite for a short cruise and noticed a wheel on the trailer cambered in. Weld broke on the stub shaft so I put a new trailing axle in the trailer yesterday.
One of the best summers I can remember weather wise.

New engines and rebuilt one drive at the start of the year. Had shift issues quickly with the other drive so it got rebuilt too. Oh yea both props went int the rocks ask I lost forward and reverse on both drives. Rite after that I blew a hp helmet and u joint assembly. Got that fixxed and a cotter pin came out in shift linkage. Tore drive apart last weekend and fixed linkage so I have to say i have only had one weekedn with out a repair. Some major and some minor. But with all that said I had a great summer so far and it was better than last year. I think I have most of my gremlins worked out.

Mine started off with a gremlin, did some fuel work which seemed to cure most of my headaches.
Boat ran good all summer and I burned more gas than I ever have!
Spent a lot of time at the beaches at various lakes.
Dinged one set of Bravo's which will be repaired this winter.
