    What a Bad Weekend

    no question the core is bad. I can stick a wire hanger between the glass layers as far as I can reach. I'm in the process of stripping the boat of as much weight as I can. I built a cart for it to sit on upside down. Once I get it on the cart I'll get some pics

    What a Bad Weekend

    " lets leave it at that" ?? Where's the pride now?. The boat didn't even last 5 hours and I'm suppose to just leave it at that. Take 3400$ and flush it down the toilet and see how it feels

    2-Cycle Oil

    oil actually, thats not true. If you read your owners manual, It says Mercury oil is "recommended" and if not advailable use use another brand that is NMMA certified TC-W3. How would they know if you use a different brand anyway?. I've gone thru this with a dealer. I ended up with a new...

    2-Cycle Oil

    oil Does anybody know who bottles merc's oil? For all I know it could be Pennzoil. I would say as long as it has the TC-W3 rating, (should be on the bottle) you're all right.
