Title: The inaugural run came to be the last
Post by: SHARKBITE on September 23, 2013, 07:50:56 PM

Learned this week that the motor is shot and worth scrap metal and a few salvageable parts. Got taken, our own fault. rgmn Will be searching for the new power in the off season and looking to jump into a few open boat charters in the mean time.....

Bad news..   

Give Matt at Task Marine a call. He might be able to point you in the right direction.

wb,- motor was a bit sluggish from the hole shot w power but seemed to run great when we planed off. Apparently there was internal damage we were not aware of and the run we made took it to the brink, mechanic said we lucked out even getting back to port with it....there was also an electrical issue that came to light after our run....

I'll try to get a hold of Mike (Andys Delight). I gave him a number of a guy that sells used engines and I know of two people that were very happy with him. I can't seem to find the number.
