Cool thread. A wise man once told me what boat stands for: B.O.A.T.--Break Out Another Thousand!! I have to agree with macojoe, I am a cheap sob and try to save a dime if possible. On the other hand, peace of mind is worth alot and knowing my motor is gonna get me back to port (especially with the wifey on board!)makes it worth spending the money to get something done right. I'm glad to have found this board so when something does go wrong chances are someone else had the same problem and we can all learn and save a buck with someone else's experience.
