I went a few weeks ago to retrieve my brother's boat from where his partner had it towed for repairs. My brother moved to Frisco. The boat yard had threatened to start charging a storage fee since no approval to do work yet. His partner arranged for the pickup, then left to Europe for 6 weeks . . .
When I got there, 3/4 tires were flat, and all four wheels were cracking at the hub. No WAY was I driving that thing down the road.
The partner was complaining the engine was overheating. I sent my brother a pic of the prop, maybe 33% remaining and totally out of balance. Might explain it.
$1800 estimate to get new tires/wheels, and the engine still doesn't run.
I may have to charter a boat the next time I go out, or tune up my shore rod.
