very good to hear, I'm assuming like the blower motor on my truck, regular maintenance is the key.

Actually there are two, one is a scarab, the other a late 90's formula. Just with owning two companies, I dont want any more toys that require maintenece above and beyond what we all call normal. No time for rebuilts every other weekend.

I have an 89 311, that I'm trying to move as well, if I dont looks like I have a choice of which one I want to take out this year. I have 6-10 ft-itis. but still want reliability. my 311 has efi502's and is dead on dependable. the two main ones I'm looking at are 419 and a 43 scarab.
