Yeah, maybe I'll get lucky like last year when you got taken out and gave me those points, although I don't want it to be you having that happen to you again....I got the title by osmosis. I do want a better craft for this year though...some handling changes and minor mods. Thought it would be fun to share...give some people the itch to ride.

boring and maintence my friend... Nothing was previously broke. When the pistons have over 4 seasons on them they need to be replaced. The funny thing is that it's for a ski that I hardly ever raced (brad's old boat that spencer and others have borrowed over the years).

Spencer, talk to me when you've punched a fist-sized hole in your hull from hopping up on ice peninsulas and sliding across them - then dropping back in the water on the other side with a pump full of shaved ice :) and no forward thrust for about 5 seconds, BRRRRRRRRR!!! It was a blast until I was up to my neck in 34 degree water holding on to a sunken SJ. Luckily, it was a 2-stroke, so all I had to do was blow the water out the plug holes and git er runnin again (ooooooooooooooo snap ;)), no harm done, 'cept the hole I had to patch.

Well lets review. Spennypoo doesn't know how to pull the plugs to open up them holes on the top of the head. His solution is to hook up a car battery cause he thinks the battery is dead. The reality is that the starter motor is not strong enough to compress water no matter how much electrical juice is coming to it.

I wonder what happens if you don't get all the water out of a 4-joke before it freezes? The cooling system must be more complicated, not to mention the intercooler would also need to be drained. But maybe not, all I know are 2-strokes.
