At least if this morning's run is any indication. Delivered the boat to
a local marina for a warranty item and expect it back late today or
tomorrow. Trip to the Keys next week is 'on'.

Replaced bulb and all rubber lines from the tank pick-up point, to the
bulb. Replaced both filters (on engine and fuel-water separator). Had a
service company come by and clean out the tank, sludge, stuff, and he
even managed to get that nut-like part I dropped in last week. Due to
its light weight, basically a small aluminum tube, approx 1 inch long,
closed on one end, it was 'possible' it got picked up by the suction and
partially blocked the pick-up tube.

All appears back to normal now. ;)

1- can u catch a lobster?
2- fillet a fish?
3- can handle a boat?
4- look good in a thong?

p.s. if you are male, NO NEED to answer question #4.

Good deal. Are you running the boat down from CC or trailering it by

I'm thinking that categories 1+2 and category 4 are mutually exclusive.

Planning to run it down from CC. Either be leaving early on Sunday
morning, or Monday morning, depending on the weather. Will top off at
Marco, then spend most the day taking our time to get there, checking
out some fish/dive spots and maybe an advance peek at the secret
lobster holes to see if they're waiting for us.

I do not own a trailer, but have access to one. I'd just assume not
need to ever borrow it again. But its there if I need it.

Cool, have a good trip. We usually anchor at Marco first night and
have dinner at the Snook Inn.
