Well we had a rough introduction to boat this year. On our last ride in for the season we had a valve stick, bend and piston went through it. To top it all off, I believe our fridge died also.New motor should be installed this week. Both motors had just under 1,000 hours,not burning a drop of oil. We still love our new 290 Sundancer (1998). It has twin 5.7's Boat has been trolled for Salmon lot, so we don't know if this is the case of engine failure or not. Mechanic said it could have been pre-ignition or bad gas. No water in exhaust manifold, so no hydo-lock. Anyhow, looking forward to being part of this group.
 
Welcome aboard! Sorry to hear about your troubles, but hopefully all ready to go soon.
