Thanks Dave Van Ess.
My engine has been plagued by problems ever since I got her back from restorer in early August. The most recent was water in the oil :cry: . Dave diagnosed it and was able to fix it and some other "issues" allowing us to take one last ride with nothing to worry about yesterday. He did it in record time and she ran flawlessly.
THANK YOU DAVE!!!!!

Dave also saved the last half of the season for me, after diagnosing my engine problems and realizing that it would make more "cents" to replace rather than repair, Dave sent me a Gray model 620 that he happen to have on the floor. Great little engine that just purrs, could not be happier, hoping I can get one or two more runs in this year.

I like the prop shaft coupling shroud. Piece of mind that body parts won't caught get in the works when in there while underway.

Thanks, it also cuts down on the water from the packing slinging.
