Darn, those things are a pretty penny too. My new home's garage doesn't
quite make the grade on my boat, plus I figure to be in a 21 or 22 footer
next. I'm gonna have a contacter do a bumpout so that it's 35 deep, and
switch the two 8' doors for one giant one. The thought of storing my boat
outside for an extended period makes me cringe.

Yeah sometimes 40 degrees change from night to day. I've been trying to
figure out how I could get the boats in and out of my side yard where I
could reasonably put up a shade, but its tough. I may have to break down
and buy one of those electric trailer movers in order to do it.

That's the number 1 cause of gaskets going, hoses cracking etc. I know
in
many cases it's unavoidable. Your area has pretty harsh temp extremes
too,
doesn't it?

Yes. Why?

You store your boat outdoors Bob?

Fortunately it only took a couple minutes. The piston has very
minor
spatter marks. Looks like it has been getting a little bit of
water
for
quite some time. It was very clean, but fortunately no rust.
The
gasket
just picked now to completely give up. The gasket is definitely
blown
the
metal rim was gone for over and inch, and a small piece of the
fiber
was
missing directly into one of the water ports.

Even better news. The cylinders have no discernable ridge. I
didn't
mic
it
as I don't have an inside micrometer, but doing the finger nail
test
I
could
not feel anything at all. I think this motor has very very few
hours
on
it.
Cool deal.

Sounds rebuildable to me. You, my friend were very lucky.
