Well, for now I will need to figure out how to replace the prop shaft seals, one LU was leaking oil from the prop, when I checked there was some water in the oil
At least the other unit had no water and nothing on the magnet.

Another reason I wish they made jet express cruisers.
I did find a company that makes them, they just don't make them here...

what is the problem with Brazil? 4000 miles at 10mph, you will have 400 hour on the engines by the time you arrive in Bimini. Barrely broken in. LOL

And what is crazy is i found a few of the ones like an exciter or ls2000 for sale here in america! Someone probably put in a shipping container or something!

Do we have a date yet?

Do we have a date yet?

I thought dates would make a nice Christmas Present?

Speaking of Christmas, does everyone know about the Bimini Christmas Toy Drive?

There are perhaps 500 children who live in Bimini. Their parents often lack the fiancnces and certainly lack the opportunity and stores to shop at for Christmas Presents. My family enjoys contributing to this wonderful program. I hope that yours will as well.

True.
Go ahead and keep us in suspense for a few more weeks...

My local liquor store had these. I'm sure they won't taste as good here in Florida and not sitting on a beach in Bimini.

Mine is half that and I'm still flying all children and the boss down to Ft Lauderdale it's not worth the headache of putting them in the car with me.

My wife doesn't trust me driving that far by myself yet. Something about brain damage and response times and night time driving and such.
I will say, i have a 90 degree turn to back into my driveway and when i came home from first time boating post- stroke it was very very hard for me to back it up when i used to be quick.
I guess i will need to practice as much as possible right? I mean, start boating in march asap?
