Spoke with the mechanic and the boat is fixed. This is the bellows failing for a second time in 2 years. He said there is a new design that they installed that is supposed to fix this problem. I hope it is because after this season the warranty is no more and if the bellows go again and the same damage to the gimbal and surrounding areas happen again its going to cost more than the boat is worth soon.

Will start shopping for a slip in the next few weeks as 60 something days until April 1st. If we can't find a nice slip that we will enjoy I may keep it out for the season.
 
Hope you have a better season than last year Rob.
 
Rob;

With the price of fuel, You can't afford to leave it out of the water.
 
Might be the last season to get reasonable fuel prices, enjoy it while you can.
 
Rob good news and good luck in the coming season.

Given what happened with fuel I know we were damn lucky going south this year.

As they said in Jaws, "a bigger boat!" ;)

I should let him blow his own horn so to speak. Don't want to steal his thunder.
