OK, so you won't be happy with me but I am sort of meeting half way. I am going to repower my boat. I am going to put a 7.2 hemi in it...

But on a more serious note, I am going to fix the motor or at least have it fixed, so the means you guys have to put up with me for a while longer. I feel much better now. You can't know how stressed I was about this frigging boat, really it's just a boat. I'll be back on the water in 2 weeks.

Yep... you got the fever. Just relax... there's really no cure for it, so you might as well just sit back and enjoy it.

We are still in the process of unsticking or most likely replacing. I am picking up a used motor on Thursday. As I mentioned earlier the problem is getting the motor out of the boat. An engine hoist is not tall enough. I need a A frame hoist.
