Thanks @bronze_10 I lost track of this thread. Alec started his journey home from Texas via Colorado this week. I've only seen him by way of credit card statements since February:winkingthumbsup" we need to see when he arrives at the bunker and how much beer, steak and beer we'll be consuming !

Ahh darnit. This is the day my wife chose for our babies first bday.
 
Moved her bday to the following Saturday on her actual bday. Not sure why she chose that day.
 
I'm a maybe. We are working on throwing together a Hilton Head SC to Jacksonville FL run that weekend but if that falls apart I will come up for this.

@veedubtek thought so too but the engine he thought he was going to score from some sucker on the cheap that only needed a new ECU didn't pan out apparently the guy figured out it was just an ECU issue and that the engine wasn't shot or something like that.

Depends on where exactly we launch and pull from but somewhere in the 180 mile range give or take 10-15 miles either way based on final locations.

Interesting.... Now that you mention it, my engines were fine right up until @veedubtek blind bought the same model boat..... I may need to see if the sands has marina video... Come to think of it the "water" in the ecu box did have a distinct beer smell to it!
