This low water situation really sucks

On the Nordic: 2 weeks on the water at LOTO over July 4th, maybe 3 weekend days here out on Travis since mid-July then, and 2-3 twilight cruises. Headed back to LOTO Sunday, for 2 more weeks there (and the Shootout next weekend). Counting on being able to pull the Nordic from Dink on Saturday.

On the bass boat: probably averaging 2 times out per week, early mornings.

I may just take you up on that! Seems the good money is my boat won't be put together yet. But I would definitely like to get out there.

Waiting on the rebuild of my port engine. The block is at the machine shop, just waiting on the pistons which may take a while I'm told.

That said, I'll definitely be a helpful boat hand!

Exactly zero times Angry

Making matters worse, I'm off-Hawaii right now sweating my ass off in some Asian country for the next three weeks. Have a beer (or 10) for me, please!

I don't think I got your number, can you PM me?

Yes figured out the compression issue. Bob at Full Throttle says it is becoming common with EFI engines if you haven't had your injectors flow tested recently it may be a good idea. Apparently one of mine clogged a bit and leaned out. Causing this ugly scene:
