I can't help but wonder if they detuned the 6.4 after what happened earlier. I know some dealers will speed govern a performance car that is used by some one street racing.

Maybe its still in the PCM beak in time? not that I care, I'll never own one.

Just what part of cali are you in anyway?

I think its text message speak for:

North california, (where he lives)

No, the engine was not detuned, it just sucks. (a mused about the 6.4L being detuned after the rear drive shaft was broken)

Maybe. =) Anyway, 500K pound boat? That's like a 65' shrimping boat with an all steel hull hull! Did you mean a 5,000 lb boat?

How big was it, and how deep was the hull? Around here, people like to tow center console fishing boats, but the weight can vary greatly if it's a super deep-V or a flats boat. I pity the suckers who blow money on bulky SeaRays etc. with a cabin or heavy inboard engines

Were you taking the boat out of the water onto the trailer, or just dry-hauling from one spot to your winter storage spot?

I thought he meant $500,000 boat but forget that the amazing part was the M14.
