See how blessed you are? I took it in the shorts twice by switching to

Geico.

LOL! Nah, the Geico was just part of a schmuky joke.

you can get new aftermarket lower ends on ebay for about $600.00 w/
about 40.00 shipping.

Speaking of lizard insurance. I called Geico and they asked me what I
had, and after i told them ...they said they couldn't beat it.

Anyhow, The boat doctor said he'd tear it apart and give me an estimate
(that's scary!) if I think it's too high, I'll pay him for his tear
down time, and finish it with a new lower end myself.
