Good guy. Takes care of his stuff. I drove 9hrs on his word. Boat is still running good 6 years later. Ask him about the stripped bolt to drain the motor so i could pull it home in febuary. That was not fun.

Good luck.

Hi Chad,
I just got back from Michigan, the boat will be shrink wrapped on Tuesday and picked up for shipping on Wednesday. I am having it shipped on a flat bed, I should have it in a week or so. I am very excited.
The drives only have 100 hour on them since new, so should be ok for a while.

Ok!! But before you drive it. Take the plug out of the Bravo upper.( It's on the right side by the steering). Fluid will rush out so either put your finger over it. Or what I do is I have an extra plug. Then look at it, and after that wipe it with a white paper towel, You are checking for metal and clutch material.. Text me pics.,.
