Having a 32 year old boat you better be handy or rich.

Pulled the motors again to chase an oil leak, plus freshen them up a little (had them out 3 years ago also)

Nice Job Mike. They look brand new. How is the tower holding up?

Mike, I'm not sure what happens more...me getting laid or you taking out those engines...nice work.

Spoke too soon. This is how we spent our Saturday. Oil was hemorrhaging from in between the block and the bellhousing, Thought it blew the rear main seal !

Nice Job Mike. They look brand new. How is the tower holding up?

Good as ever. Folds up and down quick with 3 guys twice a year

Great.
69 cents. Always something.

Good job Mike.
Luckily you can do those kind of repairs.
You would have lost the entire season if not.

With boats........It's always something.
Now go fishing.

Great Job!! Good luck with the rest of the season.
