Default Just got my dirt toy back!

It's been a while since I made it go for a swim and lost the motor. I just replaced the 2.9 and got it running last weekend. Got a lot of work to do (like all new rubber) but can't wait for the funds to arrive. Later

This is the picture story to how it died..







That was a deep hole to hit that fast. Sucked up water through a hole in the intake tube. Bent 2 rods and cracked the block.
