I just had an axle built at Joe's Trailer on Farmington Rd just south of I-96, he had it done in a day and had TONS of trailer parts. I think he carries Dexter Axles, as well.

We had a pretty good weekend. Nothing broke, no rain, and put 100 Gallons in the boat for less than 300 bucks

Nothing broken on the boat, as my friend says, "it cant get broken sitting on the trailer". Still in the shop for gouge repair on nose from loading issue, rashed on bow stop roller bracket. Probably could never reproduce the mishap, once in a lifetime. Still pissed about. But, being in TX, after years and years, our lake more than filled up in 3 days. 25+ feet in 3 days! Now 16 feet over full......

Went out 3 times. Didn't trailer anywhere. Burned maybe 50 gallons. No problems to report, other than my holding tank not currently holding vacuum. And my liver and sun burn. These outboards are to reliable, I need something to do

Burned up the plug, piston, and sunk a valve on #6 which popped the blower off the top in round 1 of eliminations on Saturday. In the dragster.

Boat ran like a top on Sunday and Monday
