Default So what broke on your boat last season?

I had a good summer with just a busted water pump. Not every year's going to be that lucky! How'd everyone else fare?

Blew a tranny and mushroomed exhaust valves in both of my new motors. Complete head and valve job on 4 heads. Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get out the wallet again. I just can't seem to catch a break.

That would have been classified as a broken heart!

Head gasket in one engine. Not sure of the extent of damage yet. Need to pull it apart in the next month or so. It feels like I got off easy this year considering last year it was 2 blown trannies and a TRS upper

Had a freshwater hose going to my oil cooler break and put about a foot of water in my bilge before I slowed and opened the hatch...could have been a lot worse!
