Good to see you around again Jimmie. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

Good to hear from you Jimmy. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/praying.gif

Jimmie,
I bet Mike would make you a great deal on his 150. Might be a an economical way to go. You could get it shipped to you pretty easy. Little less power, but compared to not being on the water, it's a good alternative. You might be able to part your motor out and recoup $800 to $1000 by selling the lower unit, prop, powerhead, cowling etc... piece by piece. Just a thought.

That might noe be a bad Idea........150 Faststrike might work OK on that Astro.....might not go as fast for it's weight but atleast you'd still get on the water http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

well i going to hold off till i get back from IRAQ .
3 month before redeploying i will start to shop for a power head or a replacement Motor

i like to see abuot a 175 4stroke
