    It's over, the SHO is blown no mo'!

    Thank YOU Clinton & the entire team at Berkeley Outdoor Marine in Monks Corner, SC for all that you & your men there did to make the disaster with my motor and the other circumstances I was facing come to a very favorable ending.

    Yamaha should be very proud of you as a dealer of theirs for taking on this very difficult challenge and I knew immediately after speaking with you and some of your current customers that I was in the right place.

    Your professionalism, technical expertise, and continued outstanding communications with me all of the way through the process is a perfect example of the type of business that has the brightest future ahead of it. The detail job your man did on my rig is amazing. It looks like it just rolled out of the Phoenix plant; amazing! Thank you so much!!

    Way to go guys & thank you to the Yamaha technician who spent 3 days with the Berkeley Team solving what could well have been one of the toughest puzzles of the year if not the toughest.

    A special thanks to the technical team for arranging what has to be the best looking battery box configuration that I've ever seen to host the pumps & related components of my new Power Pole Signature Series shallow water anchors.

    Way to go guys & thanks so much again!

    Ran $100 worth of fuel through it today and put 3 more hours on the motor and I mean I was not kind to it by any means. Total idle time was less than 4 minutes and that was to let it warm up and idle back in to the boat ramp. Other than that, it spent the afternoon under load and I mean LOAD. 2,500 - 5,500 with no more than 5 mins at WOT and so far so good. Back at it tomorrow. Never wet a line, just want to get past the 10 hour mark and remove all restrictions on running it. Should be able to reach that by Saturday easily with only 5 to go.

    Glad you're back up and running Chuck.

    Re: (Coonhound)

    Thanks, yep she's just drank her 2nd full tank of gas today and I've put 6 fully loaded hours on her in the past 2 days. So far, solid as a rock and running strong.

    Running with full tank of fuel (til I run out again), water in the boxes, fully loaded with all of my gear, and both consoles. All I need is a big fat girl in the passenger seat and it'd be really loaded down!

    Wait.... Nevermind on the fat girl!
