If you don't have the time or "know-how" to do it yourself it isn't too bad.

Keep an eye on the bilge the next couple of times you're out, and try to stay out of those gnarley rollers!

Seems fair, but not sure about them sinking your boat!

Glad you got it all fixed up Scott, we are heading up to Sandusky for the long weekend. Hope you have a safe and fun one as well.

I don't believe that...

Automotive starter gets road slop, rain, snow, etc blasted at it year round, and my 87 Audi 4000 continues to start every time.

Hell, I'd even say that calling the bolts holding it in were finger tight would be an exaggeration, and it still works.

Ayuh,.... Believe it....

Road splash is Very different from total submersion...

Weather's supposed to be great. Have fun and be safe.

To pull the boat out, find all the leaks, repair, verify the repairs and transport to your marina for 250. Sounds like Mike's is more than fair. thanks for posting, good feedback
