Brake out another TWENTY THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I put my Boat in the Dana Point Ship Yard last week to have a new Transducer installed. OK around a Grand and to service the Out Drives. WELL......................Shit
First it is a 28 Skippy with twin Diesels. Jim we need to talk about a few things said the SY Foreman.
Your exhaust hose on both engines are very bad. So we remove them and the exhaust pipes to the out drives are just about gone. OK now what? we will have to pull the engines to get to them. Well as long as you have the engines out lets scrub and paint the bilge and paint the engines, we can do that said the foreman.
Jim the hydraulic rams on the port side is leaking real bad, We may as well do both as long as the engines are out.
Did I forget to say both elbows are shot. What the fuck is next.
At this time I start to wonder how much this is coming to. It looks about twenty Grand.
So thats where we are at now. I told him that Twenty K is all i will spend on this damn boat and to cut it off when we are at twenty.
Damn..... all I wanted was to get the new Fish Finder and Transducer installed.
Well look at it this way.........I can go to San Clemente Island and not worry about a lot of stuff on the boat. That's what I say, and told Betty. She said that Fu%^ing boat is all you think of.
I'll bring the rest of this story up when I get the boatt back. Have a good day. ( RIGHT) D-J
