That's true Ray but I am not a good mechanic.

No boat, back in the suds.

LOL
couldn’t remember, was it last year? Or year before!
Pretty sure I got a bad fill up of chit gas and it went right through the engine, had the injectors cleaned also and now back up to over 5K rpm....
Now I’m down to a fuel line leak that dumb arz me didn’t catch before putting it all back together...
