Mercury Refresh of Transmision

[BraceYourself]

As a guy that has done it and looking back...

1075 SCi is a great engine and the rebuild program was done well.

I suggest not doing the transmission refresh. In my situation it actually cost me an extra 20K + and a lot of aggrevation to get it resolved.


The original story was deleted for unknown reasons. So hopefully this stays to anyone going through the refresh this winter.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Did the Cig sell?

Decided to keep it. In the market for a cat as a second boat but am in no hurry. Could not even come close to replacin AM II for the money.

AM II is an awesome boat and I don't blame you for keeping it. I hope someone can talk you into bringing it down to LOTO next summer; so I can see it in person!

Next years Shoot Out is August 23 - 29th, 2010:sifone:

Let me get this straight......

1. American Muscle II Cig
2. Lamborghini
3. F650 Tow Rig
4. Brand new mansion
5. Single Guy

Dude you have the life! Enjoy every second of it!

It's 8K square foot. I took the pic last week. Looks bigger then it is. Mansion status starts at 15K square feet in my opinion, but thx. It's plenty big for me, and just like I like it. Lights, audio, etc... all high tech and crestron automation controls everything.

Actually took over fathers business. Went from two employess to 12, quadrupled the biz in three years, day I walked in my dad walked out, and bought him out in two years for what he wanted. Oh yea military paid for my 6 years of education and spent a year active duty after 9-11 before I could focus on growing the biz. Also took me 4 years and 4 boats to get to AM II because I chose not to borrow money for them. Same for the house, lived in basement of my office for 5 years till this house deal came along, hopped on it in a down market and still have no debt.

Others live beyond their means and squander any hope of living comfortably.

Yep, I know full well that you have worked for it, you should enjoy that. before my tiger I started with a 26 donzi and then a 311 formula, still love my tiger and have my 20 cig project that is in Toledo, then I will pull out another trick next winter.

House looked huge......mansion starts at 10K in FL due to the smaller parcels!
Myself I have a Mini-Mansion, McMansion whatever.....4K sq ft on .31 acre!

8K on the best waterfront lot in Jupiter would be 6mm all day long!
