    My Dad was kind enough, if kindness is what you can call it, to give me the boat in the subject. After trailering it from Tyngsboro Ma to Hot Springs AR and spending some time checking it out, we finally got it in the water this weekend. It went for about 15 minutes and stopped. It didn't over heat but I think it just was to old and had been sitting too long (2003) for the ride today.

    There appears to be water in the oil and perhaps it's head gasket gave up.

    I would appreciate any advice and would like to have it repaired. Can you refer me to any one in the Hot Springs or little rock area that would be willing to work on this old boy?

    Thanks!
