I don't know why that posted again but Ill be stoked to get back out there

So I just dropped the boat an the motor off at the shop. The owner said he's going to do what ever it takes to make this thing perfect. So hopefully ill have a boat back in time to finally meet some of you guys in Blythe in September

Oh no, that is screwed! Good luck with the shop. I had something similar happen, the hospital left a shop rag (sponge) in my gut, all I got was another surgery and 5 days in a coma - hope you come out better than that.
[/quote that's funny you say that my moms a nurse and in the middle of my temper tantrum I was throw about the motor she was like shit happeneds doctors leave shit in people all the time

I took pictures of everything I have times dates I haven't moved the rag or the motor. I have the work write up that says what they did and the date on that. I've basically done everything I can do before I go talk to then witch is gonna happen around 1 today so ill keep you guys posted. And as for the Facebook thing I wouldn't do that it's not high school that's also why I haven't posted the name of the shop on here because it's a smaller local shop. And I totally under stand shit happeneds it's just a matter of how the shop handles them.

Yeah my dads best friend has had an auto shop for 35 yeah and said he has never seen or heard of that

Thanks man I hope they are too because this this is for lack of a better term, fucked up

on saturday i took the boat out to elsinore for the first time ever it ran grate for about 10 min long story short i shot a rod out of the oil pan whhen i got home i pulled the motor. first thing i took off was the oil pan and found my rod and a bunch of chunks of metal and what looked like red barf and it was everywhere inside the motor second i pulled off the intake manifold off where i found a red shop rag sitting in there. so when i took the boat to have it tuned up and the intake manifold gasket changed they forgot to take the rag out of there 

The gate valve was open none of the lines were pinched I also disconnected the hose from the gate valve and no water came out of there ether

I have a 460 with I mild cam and I've had issues with it idling and it's hard to get started in the morning. It has Holley 650 double pumper  and a family friend of mine that use to build race motors said I need a bigger carb what are your guys thoughts ?

My pump went out the night before I was going to the river so I was didnt have have time to freak out about a price

I feel for you man.
I currently have 4 leaf clover and rabbit foot coverage.  However, they do offer a knock on wood deductible.

i would totally you use that company but I can't afford the pot of gold payment plan when my luck runs out

Shit like I said I'm not very old but don't get me started on that. I think the only time I was aloud to pick up a video game was when I had a cast and couldn't be outside 

I'm 20 now so I can't say I'm a grown up yet but when I was a kid my dad gave us 2 choices you could ski or hold the flag and there was never a wakeboard to be found in our camp. But now it's like pulling teeth to get people to go out with me because my boat doesn't put out a monster 3 foot wake. But I can honestly say my favorite memory was from last summer skiing behind my own boat with my old man pulling me
