Thanks for the input S.

I am not sure but I think one of the guys snapped a stud trying to tighten the lower to much, which would need a machine shop to get it out.

get new mechanic !!! I can swap drives in less than 30 min and replacing studs is not very time consuming or hard even if its broke off. 2grand is ridiculous!! there are no gaskets to change when you change lowers either. sorry just re read and you said swap mids thats alot more work, but he should have re studed your mid that needed it and put lower back on much less work and you would still have complete spare motor

I am going to see this guy tomorrow, I am pissed. But I guess nothing I can do.

Fealt damn good to be on the water again !! I got a few hours in on Saturday.

coty marine ?? saw your other post.

Yes I launch my boat very close to the Coty Marine that had a MONSTER Skater named Torque Power parked in front. The boat was amazing to look at - HUGE !! So I was asking if anyone had any info on it. It is for sale but they hav no info written on it.

Was curious as to year, power, who had it, etc. etc.

As I said it looks like an AMAZING machine.
