My buddy and I finally got all the parts and put together my new (rebuilt) 75 hp outboard!!! Went to the lake today and burned a tank of gas breaking it in. I stopped for a little bit to throw at the bass in the jumps and caught a few, nothing to brag about but it feels good to be back on the lake. That was the longest three weeks of my life. I'll be throwing at them in the morning. If you're around seven points and you see a guy chucking clousers in a ratty little boat....could be me. Come by to say hi or just laugh.. Take care....Gary
