Sorry for your loss Jay. Jim is right, kinda sucky to find out instead of being told.

Speaking of power.........or lack of......

My BNL's Tampax has the turbo leaking oil. He messaged me and told me tonight. Mistake!
I heard some of those engines came with VV turbos.

You can just imagine the strain on that boat's transom... The two engines in the middle are maybe only fifty percent efficient as all they get is cavitation / prop-was from the two outer engines.. You can see that quite clearly from some of the overhead shots as he was pouring the beanz to them..

Not to mention the strain on the wallet. About $80,000 just in motor there, if not more...

EDIT: Haha, nevermind, just looked. Make that about $200,000!!!!
