Yes i had a flash back
A boat with 2 kids and their mother(no life jackets on the kids)flags us down in galveston. One kid is all in a panic because of the barge that was coming but they were fine. As james pulls in so i can get them a line the kid pulls up the anchor
So now with the wind blowing like it was we have no chance of getting to them. The barge is closing in on us quick. James realizes that we can't help them with out putting our lives in risk so he backs out of the way of 60k tons just in time for us to yell for the kids to put on some life jackest and sit on the floor.If this would have happened 30second sooner the would have been run over instead of bouncing off the side of the barges. The barge was able to come to a stop after creating a 20' wide whirlpool from the full throttle reverse we pulled them to safety and were on our way back home.

I am taking it in to CLPBS next week to see exactly what is going on. Very strange. The oil was splashed up around the top of the dipstick tube. About a quart in the bilge. Everything else looked dry. I don't know how it could have gotten there. The knock sounds like valve train, but not sure.
I have the 2 header bolts, where can I send them or drop them off.
Thanks again for the help.

That has to be one of the best (most expensive) weekends I've ever had ! Thanks Louie and everyone else for a great time !!!! And who said it would be cheaper to boat to L'auberge than to fly to Vegas????
I'd do it again in a heart beat!
P.S. Gerritm, don't sweat the header bolts, we have tons of them. Throw them in your tool bag, you'll need again! them somebiatches always come loose!

Wait, did you clean the boat? I'll just go see if they are still in there.
