just a quick note about my sick 175. Finally got taken apart, seems one hole not in good shape. will need honing and oversized pistons. not cheap. but since I have suffered 3 years with this, I can't complain. Now i gotta come up with the money. On a more fun note, have new Minn kota maxxum 70 sX and lorance 18c Combo ready to go on the boat. Kind ogf a bass boat extreme makeover!! I'll keep you all up to date. Hope to get a profile with pics this spring.
