Thanks Gots Stripers and Slipknot... John, kiss my butt!
I'm not going to buy a new motor, I may, however, updgrade my 18hp to a 25 since their basically the same machine... if its not too expensive. It planes out nice, so if its too steep, say more than a few hundred bucks, that $$ goes into my spring '02 saltwater rig account :-)
Mainly I need to get a couple of minor things checked out and I hope to find a reliable mechanic.
Got Stripers, I just got the boat recently, so I haven't been to that guy in Weymouth... I think I'll steer clear based on your assessment.
tight lines.
