    damn, that really sucks...sorry to hear. How was she running at first? were you pretty impressed? Atleast you got her hooked up and pulled out, you can always go through everything like Dan had to.
    I drove by your house Friday night, was going to stop in but didnt know if you were shacked up with some chick, so we went to eat at Main St Pizza down the road.

    That is an erie feeling to see the bow of a boat floating, especially in the ocean, it is deep! I really feel for you, that was alot of work, I was wondering what the heck was going to happen with all that power and a surface drive, I guess now we know.
    I was going to go up to the door. But then my chick said "what if he is in there with a girl or something and you interupt". haha
    I will catch up with you guys next weekend.

    Glad nobody got hurt.My jetboat was also sunk 2 years ago,unfortunatly ,it went all the way down to the bottom.We resurected the boat 5 days later ,i thought for sure the engine was done.It settled to the bottom of the lake ,96 feet down.the pressue was so great ,the carb floats were crushed.I had to purchase new ones.I was very sceptical that it would never run again.after replacing the floats,pulling the sparkplugs out turn the engine over to get all the water out of the cyliders,I crossed my fingers shot some fuel into the carb ,and started it up.It took 5 revolutions and it fired right up,i was astonished,it ran perfect.not suprised,none of the gauges ever worked again,had to replace them all! :angry2:

    Any damage to the hull?
    Was this the one with the fresh gel I saw a while back waiting to be rigged, to bad, I loved the sparkles. Besides it looked good behind your truck.
    It'll be ready for c3b right?
