What ya gotta understand about willy's ride at speed is there MIGHT have been some pilot error brought on by excessive amounts of Pilot Fuel...otherwise known as Wobble-Water...Jamison, Dant, Jack...one of the Hi-Test brands to be sure...all boats can get a little squirrely under those circumstances...

I'm a Hendricks man myself, but it sounds like Willy has good taste.

So instead of wrenching on the boat yesterday, I took it to my mechanic for the usual new boat maintenance items. After going through the motor, Sean (the mechanic) told me that I got a screaming deal. He pluged in the lapper and found 405 actual hours on the motor, 110 exactly in all 6 holes, the lower unit is new, all the electronics are perfect, not a bad thing to say about anything. I guess I'll get into the electrical this weekend.

Also, I'm not sure what size the prop is. The numbers say 19 and then 1066. I don't know what that means.
