Hot Shot Merc

I have to give a BIG SHOUT OUT TO CUDA for GIVING ME a 2.4 Merc carb 200 powerhead.It isnt every day around here when a fellow hot boater/Racer just GIVES you a motor.
At the last FBI race Cuda (Jimmy) and I were standing there waiting for the drivers meeting to start when he asked me what motor I had planned to run on my new Q-Shot when I got it.I told him a 2.4 carb 200 so I can get back into racing the FBI River Runner class and playing with these little boats again on the lakes and rivers.He said he had one that he didnt want and that I could have it for free if I wanted it.At first I said "no thanks I and a freind will be building one from his collection in his shed".After a few minutes I asked him if he realy ment FREE and he said yes.He had two of them that he tore apart to freshin up off a 29 foot boat he bought.He told me that he had gotten a great deal on two other 2.5's for it instead and that I could have one of them.:eek:
The motor is apart but between that one and the Long Block I am buying from Jim(1Badaction) I could surley build an awsome mild modified motor.I'll have enough parts to make it work and have a spare block.I would also like to thank Jim for the killer deal on the other motor.
This realy helps me out Big Time to get back going again.I am slowly gathering the rigging and stuff to get her running.
Anyway heres a BIG THANX TO CUDA and 1Badaction for helpin a brother out.I owe both of you big time.Thanx;)
