Tim, I think I know what happened to your motor. At some point I believe you must have got too close to that Red Tracker boat, I think that boat (or maybe the operator) has a mojo spell on it and you got too close and got some of it on your motor. If things work out for you like what has been going on with the Red Tracker it will take mucho $$$ to get it running again. Hope you can get her running again without too much pain. Just remember, when you see that Red Tracker, turn hard to port and run like the devil. I got some goat liver and owl feathers for to take that mojo off of the Red Tracker, just trying to figure out how to get it to Vic without getting too close...LOL. Happy fishing!
