Not an issue but I'd like to find someone to cut down my windshield. Any suggestions within a few hours of eastern KY?

I'd like to get my trim indicators working (stainless marine "no slack" type)
Install a good GPS speedo (have had the boat for 4 yrs with no idea how fast I'm going)
Little more thump in the stereo.

1. Fix my Interior! I've been putting band aid fixes into my bolsters for two seasons. They need to be replaced!

2. Replace front bearing in my alternator. The alternator took a hard hit when i broke all the motor mount bolts last season.

3. Replace my fuel sending unit. It's vague at best.

4. Finish college and stop paying out the ass for tuition so i can buy a bigger boat!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. The motor doesn't go VROOM VROOM
2. The fire is so out of control and I can't get near it to put it out.
3. It tends not to float very well

Of course these are all relative terms considering your income level :

#1 - A strong surfacing Bravo alternative that doesnt cost a bloody fortune.
#2 - Full hydraulic steering that doesn't cost a bloody fortune.
#3 - Already got the big engine built....and it cost me a bloody fortune.

I'm seeing the trend here.......

This one superceedes the previous 3:

I NEED MY PAYCHECKS TO TRIPLE! That oughta do it, Nah, I will just buy something bigger with twins then!
