Thanks for asking about draining the boat, Its good to see folks here watch out for each other...

My friend who lives across the street from me does shows, javits center, las vegas.

He sets the booths up, Manny's decorating.

Let us know how you made out with the boat when you get it back.

Make sure the plugs go back in before you go on the water.

If it's cold out, when you come back in off the water, your gonna have to drain the block and the manifold, and leave the drive all the way down.

Good luck.

Update. Got my boat back yesterday, runs great after paying a whopping bill of 400.00 lol.. Dang this thing is more expensive then my wife lol

They pulled of the carb tore it down and soaked it in there carb cleaning tank for 24 hours,,(thing is nice shiny and looks brand new now) and then got it all back together ,, they had to fool around with my timing it was off, and they replaced my water pump in the lower end, I think is where they said it was. They also cleaned out the gas tank and got every thing fine tuned. We took it out to the river and back and she ran GREAT woohoooo... We are going back down below freezing again tonight so today ill drain the water out of the block and manafold, If our weather keeps this up ill be draining that allot, So much for living in Florida lol.
This weekend is Reds and stripers for me in the St Johns down by Green Cove Springs.. They should be hearding up schools of bait fish so they get nice and fat for the winter, Guess ill wait and see what happens.

Thanks for all your help Chef and all your advice. Talk at ya soon I am sure Ill have plenty of more "help me" issues as the weeks go by LMAO

Happy Holidays..
