Thanks Chris, yes, StoneWall Jackson Lake's Dam is less than 2 miles south of town. I'd use up a 6 gallon tank in my 9.9, and refill it from jerry cans twice from the headwaters of one leg to the headwaters of the other main leg, and be several hours doing it. In West Virginny, that qualify's as big. I'll see what Bill Cunningham has on the shelf at his Warehouse Marine facility. Thanks.
