I have A G-3 16/52 duck & or fishing boat. No problems yet but it does not have a lot of storage. Don't know about dealer repair in the area because I have had no issues with the 4 stroke Yamaha motor.
I know what you mean - went to mow my neighbor's yard and found 10 yesterday. Been mowing that yard for 5 years or more.
I forgot how good they are when fried up.
I did not understand most of those first post words. Try home cooked pinto beans, fresh picked polk greens, hush puppies & fried white bass w/a colb beer. It does not get any better than that in my 69 years.
