Me and the wifey been talking it over and between this boat and my Striper I'm just about over dumping thousands in old motors. Really thinking about getting a new 150 Merc. I live 1/8 mile down the road from Swords Marine, he's our Merc dealer, so it'd be nice to have that for any future work needed.

Gonna pull the head off again and see how bad the carnage is and we may go from there. My guy is extremely busy and has a newborn so I don't know when he'd get around to rebuild it if we went that route so I may get that guys contact info from you.

10-4, just let me know. Swords does great work also I hear
