Post by: TrollerDave on April 05, 2008, 02:41:16 PM: Yeah, it's still runs great for as much as I use it, which isn't as much as I would like. :(

I had just gotten the boat and found out it had a cracked block.
I took it to a shop called SuperJet in Downey owned by a guy named Jack.
He said he has Larry at MotorMagic build his engines.

He seemed like a nice, easy going guy.
