We finally got our 1987 Santego to Barnegat, NJ this past Friday/Saturday. I posted a thread about it.

The cable replacement was finished up on Thursday and our stalling while shifting problem is no longer an issue. She ran beautifully and reliably for the whole 180 mile trip. The mechanic replaced all upper and lower cables. There is still an issue with the STBD transmission where it does not always go into neutral at the detent but if I go just a tad past neutral and return it to neutral, it seems to work fine. Not perfect but for a 24 year old boat, I'd say it's something I can live with.

Please keep me informed as you guys proceed with your boats, too.

That sounds like a simple cable adjustment on the starboard shifter cables.
