haven't had a chance to look up Gil Davis, but I think I'm going to talk to Rudy in Wilmington soon about the motor rebuild project, just need some more $$$$
I bought property up at Raystown Lake in 2004,
built a small cabin and big pole barn and have been
hanging up there since then,and all of my boating buddies on the bay have sold their boats a few years ago
I really miss the Chesapeake Bay,and the Thunder as you know is not a lake boat.
Just paided it off last year and was planning on returning to do some "real' boating on the bay when the motor took a s_it

I noticed you're new here, at least as a poster, welcome. Do yourself a huge favor, read some of the horror stories here on OSO related to engine builders, there are MANY. One word of advise, don't go with a builder just because he is local, go with a reputable builder regardless of how far you have to go to find one.

I like your new avatar jonny! Makes you look slightly less reckless 
What took a dump on your engine Tom? Is it an easy fix or a total and start over proposition? Are you just looking to put it back as it was or build more power?
