15" mid > unification of general relativity with quantum theory
So i'm thinking it may be easier to get some scuba gear and randomly dive the worlds water bodies in search of a merc motor that fell off someones boat with a 15" offshore mid on it than finding one to buy.. Mad EFI has no more and informed me the doors are closing... who'd a thunk this was such a big hurdle! no wonder i got a great deal on a complete boat minus the mid!

There will be aftermarkets available again or you can buy an existing 15 but they are bringing good money. The other option is to buy a 20, and have it cut down and then have your clamp shortened. Just depends on how soon you want one and what you are willing to pay. A good 15in offshore clamp and mid is worth 3500 in todays world-

And sometimes it doesn't matter how much money you have . It's easy to glance at stuff like this and say , Ahhhhh it aint "that" bad .
But then when ya get into it a little deeper ....
It becomes obvious that its gonna take a little time and effort ...
To see what was keeping it from slipping apart ....
Then it dawn's on ya ... ya gotz one more just like it to do ....
Having been down this road many times , it's not worth callin the guy and sayin how the trim cyl top loops are no good ( can ya even buy the rod only , or do ya gotz to buy the whole &^%$$^&& thing ) ??? I just usually make up a new set of pins , bushings and loops ... or if it really isn't that bad I'll bore the loops and make an oversize bushing , bad, but not bad enough to replace it , i'll resleeve the loop ... course , any way you do it is about making something from nothing , which means , measure three times - cut once , which tends to take time .
I don't rush myself or my guys . Any time I have done that in the past , they / I *&%$ something up . I pay them to &^%$ up , pay for more material , then pay them to fix their &^%$ up ... I'd rather watch Giligan's Island reruns and ponder if I like Ginger or Mary Ann better ...

I didn't see it as something I couldn't get around . So I wasn't going to bother you about it . I figured you gave it to me because you knew I could and would make it as good , if not better than new.
I just used your stuff as an example of just some of the things that eat up time . Then you have ten really good customers that want your undivided attention . For small mom and pop shop's , it can get overwhelming .
The sad part is ... at my age , Mrs . Howell is startin to look good .... Pfffttttt

It is amazing how brutal the salt really is on stuff.......
