New motor test - boat makes great tooth picks

[mdwarchichoke]

Got the boat on the lake yesterday and breaking in the new engine. Old motor must have been jealous and decided to suck up a log. Just got about 2 hours on it and was pushing up the throttle then boom. Needless to say limped it back to the trailer as i could not push it out from the top. I saved the wood as it will be my $57 fire place log one night. (cost of the new intake grate)

WOW!

There was nothing floating on the lake either. This was just below the surface I guess. It did not hit the impeller either. Just wedge in and hit the top of the housing. Kicked it with my foot and it fell right out.

@mdwarchichoke Wow. That is almost as good as @buckbuck's shredded tire -- sticking out of the intakes!

Somewhere out there is a stump missing a tree impressive.
