Well my motor is down. Started hearing s knock in motor week or so ago. So I checked it for bad rod bearings and exactly what I didn’t want to see was the number 2 piston with slack in it. Looks like I’m bout drop some money on it. At least new bearings if not new crank. And hopefully no damage to cylinders. Oh did I mention I just had it in shop last year to get rebuilt.

BOAT. Stands for Break Out Another Thousand. At least that’s what the lady at Letsingers says when I bring mine in.

Shoot. I'm just below Baton Rouge. If you're ever down this way, hit me up and I'll show you around the Atchafalaya.
And that is a factQuote:

Sorry to hear that a recently overhauled motor went down. I had mind redone last year, bored block by professionals, new pistons, rings, bearings, seals, waterpump, and carburetors rebuilt. She ran for ten years without a problem and I hope she goes ten more. Good luck with yours.

Sucks to hear, may take a bit more work but boat downsizing increases not only fish size but forearm size. ...... at least one of em.... popeye

Snuffy wade in farmerville did first one. I’m sending it to mike Davis in Columbia this time. They both are independent mechanics.Quote:

Young that’s the motor I have. Robert Landry in Des Allemands. Right south of the bridge. He did a wonderful job. He also sells motors.
