Fix the Dew boat… but time for a bigger badder version. Big Red is amazing sheesh. That was an amazing trip, blown motor and all. I’m a boater as well, we had a similar experience where we had literally been all over rough water all day, had a blast and we were just cruising in a back bay smooth as glass when we windowed a Chevy 350. Found out later it wasn’t even a marine engine, it had regular cast pistons in it and 2 bolt mains 😂😂 so we took the opportunity to upgrade to 4 bolt main block and hyper ute pistons and bunch of fuel and top end upgrades. I’d love to go where you just went. Happy everyone is safe and smiling!
