Where'd you take it to? There's a fella north of the Casino on the Oklahoma side that I hear is pretty reliable. He quoted me a really fair price for replacing all my A/C components.

Started the thing up today and blew the engine. White smoke everywhere. I think antifreeze is going into engine someway.

I guess time to find new engine or new boat tower. Either way not been a great day for SMS.

Hopefully the engine gets pulled tomorrow. The replacement goes in tomorrow and Friday. I may get by Saturday.


Pipe dream, I know but hoping.

Eventful as comical, or eventful as riveting and informative?

I think it's covered all the basses except success and hopefully you nail that one soon.
