BTW: Did I see you listed as a member of CBPBA. What poker runs do they do? I've already registered for the Richmond run but would like to do one on the upper bay. Would prefer one that goes to Annapolis or Baltimore just to see the area by water. Any suggestions?

Craig, call Tim at Marine Services in Woodbridge VA. He's a great guy and really knows his stuff when it comes to marine engines. He's the only guy who I let touch my boat. Anyway, he has alot of used outboard motors for sale, too. I'm sure he can help you.
Just tell him I told you to call him. Hopefully he won't charge you extra!

Hey Craig, we still got a V8 300 OB hanging around, I think we can make it work, I got a great set of tools 
Russ, we do about 4 runs a year in the upper Bay. If you sign up as a website member (free) on www.cbpba.com you can check up on all our events and join us for the fun. We will definitely help you burn up some fuel and kill some brain cells- right Craig??????
