I thought he said it got repowered with the same size engine. It's been awhile since we talked about it. Let's see when he responds. I know they were using it this year.

He replaced the block. He ended up doing all the work himself. The only thing he had to bring it to the marina for was to get it timed properly. Good as new we ran it pretty hard the few times he was able to get it out and it ran quite well.

Good deal. I knew you told me at one time what he did.
