    Default Woe is me


    Weather is finally cooperating, but no fishing for me. Was out going over the boat and noticed the trim tab on my motor is completely gone. Gave the prop a spin, and it wobbles like a tilt-a-whirl at the county fair. Anyone have a rough idea how much this is gonna set me back? Motor is a 2 stroke 90 yamaha.

    I could tell you, but you don't want to know.

    Wanna guide me in the AM? Got a new boat you can gawk at.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    Prop shaft and seals at a minimum. I'm guessing $300 in parts and 6 hours labor. Any more than that and it'll carry the symbol of K behind it.
