Re: So she brings a boat home...
Well, I decided to see if it runs... It doesn't so I broke out the manual and started tracing things. Battery is good (YAY!) Starter turns. I took off the cowling and and noticed a leak. So I started tracing fuel lines and as I touch each one they break and crumble (grumble). I decide to remove all the hoses I can so I can get replacements. I get the last hose that I wanted to deal with tonight off and bump the wire leading to the fly wheel I guess and it disintigrates. Turns out it's the stator. So I've got to buy one of those now... Seen one for 150$ is that about right?<br /><br />hoses are fairly cheap so I don't really care about that. Also I don't see a fuel filter but I'm still working thru it one thing at a time.

That's gotta be a great woman to let you buy a boat instead of a honeymoon. Heck at the time my wife and I got married we didn't have a honeymoon other than the Outback restaurant
