Hate to hear that. The first time I met you we were broke down on the water. Hope you back out soon.

I know it has had great care! Might I inquire who might have the honor to attend to your boat? I'm sure there are others curious also!

BEST :-D

That's where I take mine for service, and where they bought it. The Morgan's are good people. Dave the head mechanic is a good guy. Stopped what he was doing on Friday afternoon to take a call to help me trouble shoot something for this weekend. They will do you right

Funny thing-- my motor quit over and over again on Friday at the end of the day, on my way back to the ramp.
Fuel starvation caused by ???

Many years ago when I finally separated from Albany dealers I started with Weyman at Jack's in Perry. Check with him on an Express. Tell him I sent you for a hefty discount! :)

Are you both running non-ethanol gas?

CC, should have kept the yak for a back-up/winter low tides. Glad I hung on to mine. Provides good exercise too.

Well, that can eliminate a lot of potential causes. Hope you and CC get your engine problems solved so you can get back out there soon. Those fish are cooperating with the early spring-like weather.
