Wow, that jail is even closer to the water than Fort Lauderdale's.

What are you in for?

At this rate, he might make it back to TX by 2013 if he's lucky.

I noticed that the marina put them on the fuel dock in the No Smoking area. Probably a very good idea.
BTW, how much more is it these days to work on a boat in Ft. Lauderdale than elsewhere? I can't imagine this deal being cheaper than repowering it there. Even if he has a couple of motors sitting in Texas I'd think it would have been cheaper to ship them over. This seems like moving the mountain over to where your standing instead of walking to the mountain.

I would think he's already spent as much on this jury-rig, fuel, dockage fees, motels and the like than if he just went ahead and had the repairs done in Ft. Lauderdale.

Then again he could end up doing a promo for Merc and get it all paid for.

I think Mercury would rather stay WAY AWAY from this event.

Well I looked over the whole thread, might have missed it, but there was no mention of anyone ever telling someone from TEXES that "your dumber than a bag of hammers and you can't do that".

I'll leave the flow of conversation to each ones own thinking, but there's a point where logic and expense go out the window.

"Don't you dare say I can't do that" game on!!

That happens on the first happiest day in every boater's life.

Anyone have an update on where this "project" is at?

Anything new? Thought I saw a red glow in the west sky a few ago.
