I was thinking that...
The economy was bad in the fall,high gas prices,ect..
Maybe more people not winterizing or trying it themselves..

I know i have seen many engines with JB Weld all over them in the last few months..
The folks making the JB are turning a profit...

A few of my neighbors boats suffered over the last winter. Saved $20 and spent $200

Is JB Weld made by Justice Brothers ? Hence the JB.

Outboards rule, I was thinking of an OMC V8.

JB Weld is made in a small town in Texas.....or used to be..
Good stuff but i would not trust it on an engine block.

That was my thought exactly. Don't know if it is true, but it wouldn't surprise me.
