Last August, while throttling down to approach the ramp, my big boat (see below) died and wouldn't restart. I'd been having some fuel delivery problems and already replaced the fuel pump.

So, I deduced the carb was the problem. I got a rebuilt Quadra-junk, but it had the wrong linkage and I sent it back to the rebuilder on 7/6. They suggested I send my original and they'd rebuild that.

Well, 3 weeks later, the man in brown shorts delivered in on Saturday (the rebuilder sent it overnight w/ Sat delivery because they realized they'd ****ed up).

I slapped it on today and took her out for shakedown cruise with my 16 yo son along to tend the lines.

To make a long story short, she runs like a top. I'd forgotten how nice a 24' deep V can smooth out a ride. The boat is similar to a Z-25, I'd guess.

Being a 2 boat family is good...... real good.
