Dang Walt.. I thought u would have that 230 running and all tricked out by then..
@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!
