BigDaddy, sorry to hear about your motor, but as MJ says, we've all been through many trials and errors with our boats - and we keep putting our hard earned money into them.
 I am actively looking for new power, so let me know what you have in mind and if I come across something interesting in So. Fla., I will let you know.

You guys are great! Not one of you said anything about how much I was whining (sorry, but I just came from the mechanic and was on my 5th beer) about how terrible I had it. I do agree with the whole B.O.A.T. thing but I made a commitment to drop ALL my extra money, and some that isn't into our boat. The wife and I had a talk last night about maybe cutting our losses and letting go of the "V". It took about two hours but, we convinced ourselves that we have waited a LONG time to have our own boat and we would repower it. In the short time we were able to use her, the boat was flawless and really a joy to be in. I then went as far as saying that if nothing more than senimental reasons, we would always have this boat. Builder, I am also in So.Fl., I'm lookin for nothing less than 150 and preferrably something I can use my existing controls with (yamaha). Phatdaddy, I'll be looking serious in about 3 weeks, keep me in mind.
Thanks Fellas

Sucks to here about your boat. I hate salesmen and usually try to buy from the actual owners when it comes to cars and boats. Luckily the guy that I bought my boat from told me he had removed the oil injection and that I would have to mix the gas my self. If he didn't, I might of been looking for a new outboard myself.
