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;)

Thank You Rob, I was going to leave last night by my self to try and make the race in NC but to drive all night after being up all day is getting to be to much for this 51 year old body. I'm just leaving now , I guess the stop watch will have to do .------------------- Rob It is a pleasure to help out another boat racing ADDICT, I know what it is like to have bigger dreams than bank account and I just hope to see you out their racing soon. jjj
