james, i agree wholeheartedly, if i bought this new..i wouldve had them make it right..i bought the boat 6 years old and never saw the flaw til after a bout 2 years..there is no room for error installing such technical equipment as far as im concerned..we know how important it is to use the right people doing work for us..back in 95, i used a boatyard on the cape ..cape cod..to repower a lake boat that i still am using..5 star work..very professional..if i were to repower, that would be the shop i would use agin..i bought this boat from a huge agency, bigger is not always better, however, they treated me like gold..so i have no complaints..they negotiated well and really cleaned up the rig nicely..i may loosen the engine mounts to see if theres any play to work with..will see, but im not in the mood to redrill the transom..it performs well
thanks for your replies and your interest, bob
