				 Continuing Saga of Far Cove's Engine 
 
			
			Sell ... sounds kinda final ... since you're "out to make a few bucks inVancouver", might I suggest that tried and true money maker  ... renting?

 Hi,
 I know nobody wants to talk boats here, but here goes...
 
 Took Far Cove out today to see if adjusting the stop lever solved the
 low-rpm
 problem. Got just outside the marina, opened it up a bit, and noticed I
 was
 going slower. Long story short: Forward gear is hosed. I ended up backing
 all
 the way back to my slip (fortunately there was absulutely no wind or tide,
 so I
 could crawl).
 
 So, I guess Far Cove has decided for me: it's a New Engine (with Trans)
 as
 soon as I can get it. The dealer (Atomic Four Engine Service) said he will
 take
 the old engine in trade - donno if he wants to see it running. If not,
 I'll
 probably pull the old engine over the holidays so I can get started on
 rebuilding the stringers.
 
 So...anybody need a handyman looking for a Few Bux in Vancouver? (I'd
 sell my
 body, but that would only get me about $1.95...)
