Great week running the semi hardpack at Ocotillo this Thanksgiving week…til…I began burning a quart of oil a day (ran an avearage of 50 miles a day) and then we destroyed a belt. No biggie…keep adding oil…changed belt…..then the new belt began spinning and overheating after about 100 miles. I am hoping it is just valve guides and something cheap (is there anything cheap on these) in the clutches or as my wife has hinted…our season might be over early:rm_thumbdown:. Maybe offshore fishing wasnt so expensive after all.

Ha…..will be back out there for Christmas/New Years week who am I kidding. Does anyone know of any financial intitutions that make loans on repairs?

Ghoast…
