I have worked with these guys for many years and we do not have a
written contract. they hauled the boat and said they would look at it.
2 weeks later they said needs new minifolds and risers. I said OK.
they did that and tested it again and the engine filled with water
again. it was not the risers and manifolds. Since then they have
eliminated the exhaust intake as well. at this point they are not sure
what the problem is and are recomending a new engine. If I decide that
I don't want a new engine (let's say the boat is not worth the
investment) how much should I owe to the boat yard and what does one
do with a boat with an engine in pieces?

thanks
PS jonesing for a boat ride, I took my digny out this morning-very nice
