    FIRST BOAT....A DOOOOSIE

    I am so excited! Picked up a 2005 Skeeter ZX225. Love the boat....one problem. On the test drive, the power head blew! No worries, new power heads and pistons plus a 2 year warranty. The warranty is extra but ok, I excited!

    Any thing I should be warry of with being a new boat owner? Did I say I so excited!

    Read up on the break-in procedure and follow it to the letter. Break-in is critical to a long lived engine.


    Don\'t be in such a hurry, after retirement there\'s only one big event left in your life.
