    Yea that's well worth the money. 👍 It's a little scary out there in the big gulf.

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

    That murky water you guys are seeing was last year we had so much rain from up North that was being discharged into the Caloosahatchee River it was turning the ocean brown, it took months for it turn back blue, Florida is spending 100s of millions of dollars building detention basins above the river that discharges into the GOM to slow down the fresh water so hopefully it doesn't happen again, this year was the worst ever they said, it usually doesn't happen that bad, but we had a exceptionally wet Spring.

    I don't think it was $2K though. I want to say it was less than a grand.
    That sucks.. I replaced mine when I put the new motor in it a couple years ago out of fear of this scenario..lol.

    Got the Formula back last Friday with my wallet $1,700 hundred clams lighter, the coupler is all fixed up, they had to pull the engine and replace it and I had them service the drive when it was off, so I'm ready to tear something else up this weekend, whose going boating.

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