Let's see last year was the fuel tank failue while at sea. $12,000*. New outdrive lower unit because of a mistake made at a boat repair place in Oceanside. $6,000**. New 454 CID engine because a maniford elbow failed and dumped seawater into 4 of the 8 cylinders after it was returned to the slip $?????***

Yea they can be alot, but they are really fun.

* mostly paid by insurance.

** just won the lawsuit and will be paid by the shop that wrecked it.

*** ready to build the new engine and then I will have Sunrise Marine swap the engines for me. I have to pay for this one.
