Hang in there, our luck has got to change. I understand why so many just throw up their hands and give up & get out.

Many times through the years I have asked myself if it is worth all the trouble for a few extra miles per hour . To me it has always been ,though I don"t recomend it . Good luck on the rebuild . Be sure to double check the condition on your intercooler .I have heard of some problems with them leaking after just 2 or 3 years .Some mfg now offer a coopernickel ? type that is supposed to hold up better to the salt .Hope you will be back on the water and having fun soon .Best of luck

Damn Sick that sucks,I thought I was the only one with bad luck.

Every weekend its something breaking but hopefully after i go right threw it i wont have a proble. We will see. i undressed most of it last night platform comes off tonight and grab handles along with rest of engine. Then a few parts off to paint shope for more true fire as like on the scoop. Pics to come shortly.
Mike
