Well the one thing I got out of this job was an excuse to go over and talk to Roger Munn at his shop when I needed some advice here and there. I originally asked Roger to build some new heads but he recommended i buy some remans and spent some time on checking on them and new manifolds for this chitpile.

But the Jackwagon owner found his own guys for the heads and manifolds to cut out the middleman..

Thank God I didn;t get Roger caught up in this azzhats problems.

But Roger helped me with advice or a odd tool whenever I might drop by for something and I tried to compensate him for his time which he graciously refused but after a little coercing he was nice enough to take so you don;t feel like a leech when you call him for some quick advice.

One of the good guys for sure.

Problem was you sit down and get talking about the good old days with 'Roger you never want to leave but that was the one good that came out of this

Found this lien site maybe worth a try?

Hmmmm, it's a "liveaboard boat" which means it's always in the water which means it has plugs...um, just saying.......

....or "install" a couple of new ones.....

I'd suggest he's more of a low life that takes advantage of kind people than someone with a bi-polar diagnosis.

Man that sux! I would forget about it though. It will cost you more in time and energy, where you could be making more money. I was burned by a chithead engine builder to the tune of 12k if it makes your situation appear any better. Just remember the connection you made with Rodger Munn and how you will benefit in the long run.

I would at least sent a certified invoice. Might scare him but, at least you would have some documentation that you worked on the boat, tryed to invoice and was never paid.

I would be more concerned with him buying this 12 k POS boat and he trys to sue you because you caused his future problem even if you had nothing to do with it.

Good luck, man!

Tommy just think of it as a loss, move on but remember hes going to need help again and this time tell him to pay you what he owes you and when and if he does take your money and run dont help him and when he *****es ask him how does it feel to get fuched over,

Just rent a pontoon boat and slam it into the side of his pos. or install new bilge drain plugs starting with a 4" hole saw, then leave to go look for the plugs

I possess a unique set of uw skills that may be to your liking........ What a pos .
