I'm in the process of rebuilding a 900cc tigershark pwc engine.What a pain in the hiny!This thing gulped 2 sets of reeds,and must have ingested 3 gallons of water!
I keep telling folks..."2 things you cant get wet...boats,and boat mechanics" ;-)

how far away is the engine builder? surely he had the engines insured?

The courier told the supplier he didnt put a label on it LMAO
I take it that 2 scoob engines have just been sold off the back of a lorry sort of thing.
The supplier laid a bit of abuse into the guy (same one picked up each time) and has put 4 labels onto this one and told him to lose this one would not be too clever LOL

oh no...they lost another one?
someone is stockpiling your motors!!

update:

correct strutbrace now turned up and fitted :o)

2nd engine officially lost by courier.
Engine number 3 dispatched , this better get here this time

J. Frank Duryea was a neighbor of my husband's growing up down at the Connecticut shoreline. He helped my husband purchase one of formerly owned 1903 Steven's Duryea which we re-furbished completely. The next Steven's Duryea we re-did was for J. Frank's Grandson.....he owns a 1904.
