Went boating Friday and spun a coupler, we were out about 15 miles from the house and lost a coupler, so in the shop it goes Monday morning and shell out 2K to pull the engine and throw in a new one, ain't that a bitch. :angry:

I don't think it was $2K though. I want to say it was less than a grand.
I thought this was a thread about Grads playing Blackjack 😡

They tells me it's going to be between $1,200-1,500 hundred bucks, but why do I know he'll find something else, ugh.
I need to go to Vegas and win it back, I'm lucky in Vegas, this dahm puppy we got, ugh.
I believe it was a little more than $2,000. ;)Quote:

That's the blessing of having two engines, I could idle in on the other engine, but we have Sea Two and they come get you and tow you home it's about $175 a year, but the tow is free if you have it, it's well worth it.Quote:

You need to come out and try Mother Nature's playhouse, not much better than the ocean.Quote:

That sucks.. I replaced mine when I put the new motor in it a couple years ago out of fear of this scenario..lol.Quote:

If I keep breaking chit, I'll be looking for a job at Home Depot here real soon.
