Hey Deb Thanks. Don't know if I really want to haul it up there. Chances are I'll probably have to take it off anyway and take it somewhere. I'll give um a call and see whats up.

No problem , I know what you mean, I keep my trailer about 2 hours from where my boat and slip are, but I figure I'll make the most of it, after he's done with the repairs I plan out putting a new gel coat on and touching up the bottom paint while it's out, good luck..boats are an expensive hobby!

There is also a newer DX 290 on this board for sale for $1750.00. That is a real good one

Matt,
Righteous bra. The biggest problem that I would probably face with that would be the fiberglass work. I would need to seal up that big hole if I put that volvo in there. I'm honestly thinking about a complete mercruser setup (engine/stern) assm. Talked to a couple of places and nothing but lameness has been said about the OMC. Kinda sucks but it is what it is. Hands are tied. Don't know what to do.
