That is NOT what I want.

Mine's only seen salt/brackish water a few times, and always cleaned/flushed good afterwards. Always kept inside too. Talking to a local boat guy (he was selling lots of boats on consignment, and business was great last summer), I was surprised at what he thought my rig would bring (maybe 8K), but his comment was "have you priced a new boat/motor lately?"....sometimes you don't need a Carrera rebuild when a Cheby will do just fine.
