Good choice on the exhaust, no leakers there. Just make sure you stay away from reversion.

Well it's like this you think your going to just change the rings and hone the blocks a little but then number 7 is scared so bad you have to bore 30 over and buy all new pistons and rings. Then you say, "Well just do a maintenance valve job and find out the head is warped and you buy new heads. By the time you get all that done you notice the drive is leaking oil on the ground and two trailer tires are flat. You look up and the wife is standing there tapping her foot, saying "I told you not to buy a boat" See I told ya, you just don't listen do you! When are you going to take me dancing? If there is anything left on the credit card after you get that damn boat fixed I need to buy some new clothes for the kids. How much have you spent on that damn boat anyway? I told you a boat is a hole in the water which you keep throwing money into. I hope you learned your lesson on buying a boat, this won't ever happen again your boat buying days are over. Go on go to sleep I dare you to! I'll wrap you up in the sheets and have you beat half to death before you wake up. I'm calling your mother right now and tell her just how stupid her son is. It's your turn to cook too so get this sh!t picked up and get in the house. You spend more time with this damn boat than you ever spent with me! Lord why did I marry this guy why?
