I took my skiff over to joe at hot laps marine (formally hot laps go cart track) to go through the motors and lowers for safe measure. Replaced some bearings, pulled the power heads on both of the 300's cleared out some clogged exhaust water passages and made some throttle and shift linkage adjustments too. I got out thursday afternoon before the winds kicked up and i couldnt be happier. The boat seemed to be smoother than ever. Took it down to the springs for some dinner and back. Joe and Gil seem to make a real good team, they not only got the job done on time it was less $$ than he quoted me originally too!! If you need an outboard mechanic these are the guys!!! There is also a performance kit they sell by Dave bush racing adds about 30 hp to the 300 x motors. Thanks hot laps marine!!!
