LOOKS LIKE FUN????????????
C'C'MON MAC, WE COULD USE THE HELP. IT'S 990 DEGREES AND THANK GAWD I HAVE A 'BOAT-PORT' THAT'S 150 HUMIDITY UNDERNEATH.
Oh yeah.
BTW.....if you ever think you want to be in the fishing charter business...start with a Million dollars and be prepared to loose it all
Really, you want to read the whole story 
Ya'll remember when Honda sold Pacific a BLEM 225 Honda
That Honda went on my new boat that I only got because banks in 2006 were throwing money at people and giving loans to homeless people with cardboards signs
I worked my azz off for years to have a paid off boat, motor, trailer, truck. So I got the chance to capitalize on getting a boat loans one year after buying a house even.
after spending 20K on a new Honda, three years later water started to pump straight threw to the top off the motor via a hole between the two heads, behind the air manifold.......salting the whole engine. I had no idea wtf was going on. the mechanic a royal dumb azz said to Honda when he told them what he had found. "This fishing guides motor is soooooo clean, and only three years old, and there 's a HOLE IN THE ALUMINUM, BECAUSE YOU LET THIS ONE GO THREW THE QC PROCESS, AND THE CASTING WAS THIN AND A HOLE IS NOW SPEWWING WATER
"
They replied...."thank you, dumb azz mechanic for telling us he uses this motor commercially. he has one year warrenty and that is now G-O-N-E"
"we'll help though. we'll send a empty block, it may take 2 months, but we'll pay the labor for a complete brain transplant...you can use all his parts off his motor!!! We'll give you 9 hours of labor costs. OKAY
Well the dumb azz mechanic SCREWED THE POOCH. They had NO WAY of knowing that I used the motor commercially.....and would never find out, either. OTHERWISE, I would have had TWO more years under warrenty. And COULD have received a whole new LONG BLOCK. Plus labor
That was over Labor day and I had to return $1,200 worth of pre-paid charters and deposits
So, instead of all that SHET, the mechanic tapped the aluminum "bad casting" spot of the block and got a plug in it with a whopping three threads??????
Added some JB WELD, and charged me $700 for the fix.
Afterwards, I had $150 in my checking account
So I plugged on....
Then, I took a loan from my BEST, FAVORITE, WEALTHY UNCLE and found a guy in OHIO with a 30" running, Honda 225. My dad and I drove straight through 10 HOURS in a Isuzu Rodeo 4 banger, towing a motor cycle trailer to Ohio with my uncles money in my pocket.
I saw the used 225 Honda run. But it took two years and $260 more, to get a key switch harness, and a battery cable. So I could run the Ohio Honda in my own garage.
Well a week ago.....
That plug in the bad spot in the casting of my 20K engine gave OUT
3 years later, the hole expanded in the BAD spot where HONDA F'ed up on quality control, or it's now leaking around the plug with three threads (?) holding it in.
Salt water spraying up all over everything.
<<<<<<<In reality, Honda sold me a motor that lasted three years>>>>>>>>>>>>
The mechanic, made it last three more years..............NOT HONDA.
If I had waited for a empty hallow block, then a few weeks to get the surgery completely done. I would have been broke, homeless, and out of the biz after 14 LONG HARD YEARS, at that time.
So that's why I didn't go that wonderful route Honda offered me.
NOW: The 2005 Ohio Honda is on my transom.
NOW: The 2006 "original" Honda is a pile of old used parts
Pretty much J-U-N-K, that'll I'll part out for my own use.
Unless someone wants to do a "brain transplant" for free on a Honda block, entire powerhead. All because of a small hole in the water jacket in the most miserable spot one could imagine
NOW: as of today, I have graciously received a MALWARE VIRUS on my website via the websites hosting company. Affecting many of their customers.
Google had put a NOTICE on my website in their search. I had to return charter deposits. And have a running motor....BUT NO BUSINESS.
Because people see the Google notice.
So after days and days of labor, now I have been CYBER attacked.
JUST SHOOT ME NOW
"JUST ShOOT ME NOW, AND GET IT OVER" 
It don't have to be Store bought to work.
