Never fails!

No mater how much you plan and prepare, the only thing i can count on is something going wrong to throw a wrench in my plans.
Weeks of preparation, making plans and 2 days before the boat is scheduled to leave for Havasu, we hurt a motor during testing. For 2:00 yesterday until 5:00 pm today I have done nothing but try and get a replacement motor or pair of motors. At 5 pm today I went home with a migraine, beat like a whipped dog. Out of options. I laid on the crunch and took a nap and just woke up recharged. I'm going to give it one last try tomorrow.

Anyone have a set of Sterling 1550's quad rotors they want to sell. I figure it's a long shot but it's worth asking.

I'm not out yet and really want to make it. Anyone have any feasible solutions, let me know.

I got a pair of 377/6.2's that are still under warranty until December if you want to idle around Havasu on two motors........

Gino play the lottery this week......you are scheduled for a change of luck!

Gino...did you try Wesco. Racing in MI. He always has some big power stuff on hand?????

[Caincando1]

Maybe the guys in Iowa will send you the big motors out of the Sorcerer.

SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Stay home and fix it right. That is a long a$$ haul after a trying to marathon something as serious as yours back together.

[BraceYourself]

I would agree. Don't rush it. The speeds and what's at risk is to high.
I bet you'll always have a spare motor now.

What broke in the motor?
How many hours?


Good luck!

Gino, I have a brand new set of sterling 1550's with psi blowers, you would have to run without your hatches. It would look cool though. lol

Hadn't really thought of it that way, but now that its been brought up, 190+ in an open cockpit is not the type of thing one really wan't to be doing after last minute heavy thrashing. There will be many more runs.

Jacksonville is just around the corner

Gino any luck?

We were going to buy the nes form The Aquamania boat with the PSI motors and cut holes in my hatches. Just not the ideal situation. If you are going to spend that kind of money for a set of spare engines, they need to be right.

We have one 1250 we are putting my accessories on. Won't be abe to run hard but at least we will be there!

Thanks for all pm's regarding ideas.

Looking forward to meeting all the west coast guys face to face!!! Can't wait to get there and relax at the bar, I'm buying!
