I worked for a local marina that specialized in hi performance engine building and rigging in Oshkosh Wisconsin. Some of you guys may have heard of heard of it....Fox River Performance marine. We were (i speak in past tence only because i dont work there anymore) a Powerquest and fountain dealer. Its was a nice suprise to see someone start a post for the "lurkers" because ive been following the forums for about 6 months and love reading what you guys have to say on various subjects. I love reading the technical section as well as all the others and i can truthfully say i have learned a lot. I love performacnce boating and would like to pursue a career in marine repair, and/or used Rolex sales someday. Unfortunatly for me its such a seasonal thing up here my options are limited. i know im rambaling, but i just got home from the bars and i dont have to work tomorow so you can guess what kind of a night it has been....please excuse my spelling and i look forward to talking with some of you guys in the future - Andrew

Logically one would take the used chopper to the Robinson factory and have them go over it with a fine toothed comb before strapping yourself in. Any thoughts on that?
