ALMOST.   Thought we we were going to make it.
After replacing a couple of gauges that didn?t work, tried to start blue for the second time and the motor didn?t cooperate.
Acted like the battery was week. So I bumped the key to get it to get it to move, it popped on the first cylinder     Then bang!
No good!
Motor lucked up tight! Don?t know what happened. And not enough time to replace it.
Still have to get camper ready and everything else involved with that to start camping on Sunday, so we are just going to use Benny. After the big week I?ll swap out the motor with another one I have and will get ole blue on the water.
See you all soon at the gathering.

Pull the plugs and turn by hand?  Sounds a bit like something may have found its way into a cylinder, maybe bolt or nut in the intake?  At least by hand you can turn back and forth.  Any valves suddenly with huge clearance?   Sorry to hear that, was looking forward to seeing it back on the water.

She?s ALIVE.                 
Few small things to finish up then thinking on a splash on Sunday or Monday, maybe both days. 
See you on the water!

I?ll post more pictures when she?s in the water.
