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.

when i pulled my i/o i put plywood on the floor, put the engine hoist right in the boat, lifted the motor out set on deck, used a come along in a tree to get out of boat. were there is a will theres a way!!

a case of beer for a guy with a tow truck can also get it done.... like Joe tho I have pulled MANY a boat engine under a tree before I decided to build myself a gantry crane
