All I need to do is pull em out for ya:D or you can see them run in the boat..

i only did shortblocks,you and joe did a nice job finishing them.

Damn Dan.. What happened? I thought you found the right setup and now its going? Hope things are okay.

Should have a buyer in Ohio, no?! :evilb: Best of luck on the next ride. One beautiful Cig you had there.

Thanks Dan but Al has me set up with my boat anchors . Hate to change them just got them to run right . But if it is last year it would have been a done deal .
Let me know when you are going to be In Sarnia maybe Al and I will take a road trip .

Leaving the Straightbottoms Behind ?

You spend thousands of hours and dollars to make sure everything is good to go and reliable and it finally was running like a clock.... then on a nice easy cruise I lost a prop and shaft, and on the way home it I blow a tire and my spare had a leak in it too... kinda the straw that broke the camels back.

I`ll probably regret this thou so...it is what it is

Everything else is good thou, thanx for asking
Right now I`m enjoying a larger bank account and free weekends, first time in 4 years

Sounds like everyday for me. I hook up the plow on plow truck. Of course the hydraulics don't work so I strap it up to get it to the shop to repair. I didn't have to go far so I didn't bother latching and hit the brakes at end of drive and the plow goes hydroplaning across road with a bunch of wires hanging out of the wire loom. I attempt to get plow back up onto mount and slipped and whacked my melon on the top of the plow. Road commission waiting for me as I was blocking majority of road. I finally get everything back in place with the exception of wiring harness. Now I go to leave and the fken battery was dead.

At least you have a choice to do as you please but needless to say I still gotta plow snow. Sometimes things just plain ol suck.

You have the rest of your life purchase more boats. Take your time and chill for a bit. I've been with and without a boat over 30 years to date. Just think now you can be that cool dude that flips your buddy a twenty dollar bill when filling up at the station. Haha... Had friends years ago that would do that and I'd tell them to just buy the beer. They'd have no clue how much fuel you'd go through.

Anyway good luck.

Dan.
Sometimes less (horsepower) is more.
