Take it out, bring it back, rinse the motor and the boat -- Done.
If I'm picturing it right.
Motor is probably little more than 350lbs, boat is probably around 2,000lbs dry. Add 400lbs for fuel, 50lbs of ice, 75lbs of beer, 120lbs of semi-dressed girlfriend and around 3 pounds of fish.......
You're good to go.
Not sure whether the non 2nd generation 2.7 Eco is the way to go. I would think they've solved the carbon problems on the intake valves.
Or not.
Brandon Ford is running some killer deals. Jarrett is right up there, too.
Have fun

Exactly how many 2.7's have carbon problems on the intake valves?
