Shut it off and limped in the few hundred yards to the docks....boat is closed cooled 496's and we hooked up a hose...ran fresh cool water through it and got a bite to eat to give it time.

Ran It out again after though and it was perfect. Not sure if maybe we picked up some sea grass as it was EVERYWHERE that day but we ran it for about an hour out in the gulf after that and it never rose up again.

Hoping to travel down for a FMO run before years end here.

Yup, sounds like you got some crap in your intake, when that happens I put it in reverse and try and flush it out, it usually works, glad everything was OK.

Great idea!!

I always thought of coming up with a perfume that smells like race gas. Just think how attractive and arousing our wives would be!

(please don't forward to my wife!)

I think we need to find some good developers to do a realistic performance boat game for the PlayStation.

Then we can all link up, stage online poker runs and races all winter long...

Once I got a few bugs worked out, it's been super for the past 170hrs. Well enough I'm starting on a twin version to bring down that way and run the islands with.
