Hey Y'all:
I had plans to repower this season and it ain't going to happen. I own some vacation rental property here in the Smokies and voila a house we built back in 2007-08 roof was installed incorrectly. We had a blustery winter storm and it blew shingles off. Called Nationwide and they inspect the damage for the claim. Turns out the builder over drove all the nails on the 40 year architectural grade shingles. Roof installed wrong, claim denied. So,$13,000 later I am proud owner of a new metal roof.
I had money set aside and I had an offer for $7,500 on my motor but the admiral wanted to hold off. I am though going to the Dry Tortuga's at the end of July . As a result from trying to sell my F250 and talking to folks, I am having the main drive belt replaced . The motor has just under 900 hours on it and I rather not have that belt fail in the Tortugas.

Anyway, maybe next season a repower could happen or maybe I trade up some?
