My Christmas gift to myself. Exhaust manifolds, risers and water pumps.

Today I spent 4 boat bucks... just on parts.



Tell me again why I do this?

[ShoreBound]

Because it seemed like a good idea at the time? Hope the gift is what you wanted! As soon as they are installed, you will be happy that you did it. Happy. And broke.

I know how you feel. There are a myriad of reasons why we do this. I have been around the lake since I was 5. I cannot imagine not being around the lake.

....because when you're on your death bed, you won't be wishing you had another $4K in the bank. All in the name of good times my friend....good times.

^I'll second that^

Having just replaced my manifolds you will be much better off. Also you won't be saying, "I really should have replaced those manifolds!"

[ShoreBound]

Did you get those new manifolds installed? I am sure it is easier walking, with all that weight out of your pocketbook!

I asked Santa for a new dinghy motor, but apparently he didn't have room on the sleigh...
