The bright side is that you'll never be bored again.  ;D

In a bizarre coincidence I also need a new fuel pump on the starboard engine in the Sea Ray   ::)

OMFG!!

It's infectious!!

Although I'd surmise that the M-B has infected the entire area...and so these are just legacy infections.   ;D

Nah, boats have always been like this.  A boat is just a hole in a body of water into which you throw all your money.

it's part of the phrase about not buying any of the 3 "F"s.

if it floats, flies, or :censor: - rent it.  ;)

Your neighbors across the road probably need boats right about now.  How high is the water?

Main (upper) parking lot at the yacht club is thigh deep. Access to the club is by boat.

I was showing a friend this thread a couple of weeks ago, and this morning he bought a 2000 Jaguar XK8 rag-top.  It's a one owner car with only 80K on it!  Crazy.  I'm excited to see it, he describes it as a time-capsule car.

Be sure he joins the forum and starts his own thread.  2 for the price of two.  :cheers:

Jag is coming out of storage next week. I should be interesting to see what crops up. I know it needs an O2 sensor as the CEL was on when it went to bed in November. The trick apparently is to change it without breaking stuff.

Is it hard to access?

Under from what I've seen on the Jag forum... lots of stories of multiple extensions and homemade special tools. Beyond my expertise. I'll do the research and then discuss with my indy.
