    EUROPEAN MARINE VISIT

    I was able to meet the fine folks here, Don is a great guy and its unreal the knowledge he has on the outboards, truly a pleasure to be around the "race shop".
    The thing that impressed me the most was how he was replacing a V-8 inboard and had it running and checking the oil pressure and vitals before installing in the boat, its commonsense but with most other places they'd dropped it on in and so be it. I also was in to drop my 250XS off for a checkup and health report, I really was happy to see the shop and again they are very nice people.

    DON

    THANKS, I was able to run a 1/2 tank of fuel out and the engine seemed to really "clean" up. I ran Qickclen, Sea Foam and Stabil treatment. another 1/2 tank full of gas should be the ticket, it ran very well and power seems to "gain" the longer it has ran. It idles better and the mid range punch is very good, THANK AGAIN
