Ouch, sorry to hear about the fall but the travels sure sound interesting.

Maybe there's a nice responsible young family in the area that would be
willing to put a few hours on the clock for you every month or so.

I'm bound and determined to wear mine out before I die.


-----------------

I have had to repower because of the hours I have run over the years.
The boat was originally built in 1991. I bought it in '95. Repowered
in about 2001, repainted twice now. Is 3/16 Aluminum and should last
for a lot more years.

I had mine built in 2000 but only have about 800 hours on the main
engine. I hate to think how many hours have been spent anchored up and
trolling on the kicker. The .25" bottom has some pretty good dings and
creases and as far as I'm concerned the paint can slowly wear off. It
does need a new top pretty soon but it's a utility boat at this point.
No worries...

How many hours did you get before the re-power?
