    Getting ready to Attack the Crack. I still plan to use the Lock-N-Stitch method to fix the crack in my engine block. This year I am putting the boat AHEAD of fixing the lawn tractor. Not going to miss another boating season. Last summer was so hot that I just gave up trying to work on the...

    I've heard mixed reviews about the Sniper. I think you are wise to sell it off.

    If it WAS ready to run, it's too dang hot to enjoy it right now. Mid to upper 90s and 100s. I'll plan on September repair and then enjoy some fall rides.

    Just a quick update; My next act was to repair the crack in the side of the engine block before I start using it this spring. Well...that hasn't happened yet. The boat project kept me occupied for two years while I let some other chores and household repairs fall behind. I expected to have...

    At this point, it is probably better than the plug they used to make the molds at the factory.

    In all "fairness", you are doing a great job. I've done some fairing, though not to that extent, so I appreciate the effort it takes.

    I pull mine with a rope as well, but what do you do when there is no courtesy dock alongside the ramp. How would you avoid driving it on in that situation?
