Good - gotta be better than tying up between two deadmen in a channel
huh? :)

For sure.

Tranny repairs suck.
Yes but this is a good place to get work done. Some of the biggest
builders of custom sportfish are just a few miles south of here - lots
of good people and lots of resources.
It's also an interesting area to poke around in. Kitty Hawk and the
Wright Brothers Museum are a few miles north, Cape Hatteras and
Ocracoke about 60 miles south. There are miles and miles of deserted
beaches, big dunes, interesting wildlife, etc.

It took two guys a day and a half just to get the tranny out. It's
built like a battleship but probably needs a few dollars worth of
hydraulic seals which will take about 8 man days of labor to replace.

Eessshhhh...


I think the bill, if he posts it here, will cause a few giggles. I'm
guessing $7500-$10000 if his labor estimates are correct.

Harry,
I spent a long weekend up at the lake, my Marina owner let us use his
houseboat for the weekend, so I know I missed a lot of posts, but why
would someone's expensive repair bill cause a few giggles?
