    Water in boat?

    I appreciate the repiles. Called Mike and he came out the next day so Thank You. He was professional, down to earth, and patiently answered my questions.

    Price on Re-Power

    I'm currently considering repowering my 20'6" 1988 Overnighter. It has an old 2 stroke Mercury on it that is running decently, but it is time for a change. I'm planning on switching over to a new Yamaha 200 HPDI. Dealer (very reputable) where I live in Maryland has quoted me $15,800 fully...
