Naaa, hurt feelings are when I run a guy with an Ebay 75 mph boat and beat him with my 60 mph GPS'd boat. LOVE IT!!

Man, I hope so...she's never ran this smoothly on the trailer before (since I've owned her). Of course on top of my motor issues, I had ignition issues too...which were resolved with the installation of a new DUI HEI dizzy....Marine 7000 model. 50,000 volts of energy shooting right into the plugs!

UPDATE:
As y'all know, I "Blowed up" my motor at Tawak in July due to a remote oil filter line popping off. Well I pulled the motor last weekend and today, dropped off the block, crank and pistons at Blaine's Motor supply in Dallas. I'm having them inspect, hone and assemble prep the block, and have them grind the crank .030, it's currently ground .020. Then a new set of bearings, new rings, and a set of gaskets and she should be good to go. Oh...the remote oil filter setup will receive new hoses and fasteners from Host Fast in Garland.
My hopes are that I'll get the motor back next Wednesday, with assemble over the weekend. Hopefully I'll get it back into the boat by September 28 weekend.
EDIT:
You can tell in picture #2 that the rod journals look pretty scarred up. Sean at Blaines said that's more than likely the bearing and not the crank itself.

Wow, talk about fast!! The machine shop called at 2pm and said my engine is ready!! The prepped the block and ground the crank .030. I could have picked the motor up today and be on the water this Sunday!!
Not gonna happen though. Ill pick it up next week and take my time building it. It'll be back on the water in two weeks or so.
