Ozzy I am a little confused by this. Why would the pumps have to be replaced? If the filters were doing their jobs, it would have kept any of the crud from ever making it that far. Did they burn up from the blockage? My boat has 6-71s in it. Loud, but awesome engines. You saw my boat huh? Don't judge her from the outside. :) I was in the middle of wire wheeling the damn carpet glue off the back deck (previous owner glued down UGLY indoor/outdoor carpet on the back deck) to put down nonskid and that was before I had the hull buffed out with two coats of wax on it. She was in rough shape about that time. I think I had the flybridge all torn apart too. Victoria huh? I have taken the Clipper up there several times but never my own boat. Maybe next summer. I also want to get out to Butchart Gardens. I hear it is great to head over there by boat. You live in some priming boating areas. That’s for sure.

While at the reciprocal dock we dropped the dingy and toured the harbor many times. We did go around for a look at your boat, I always have to check out any 42 Uniflites that I can, one day hopefully I'll get the chance to own one myself. Buy the way, which engines do you have in your Uni? I have the 350 Crusaders in my boat, and by running the fuel tanks too low, (I missed the fuel dock at the Breakwater Marina) I picked up all the sludge hanging around the bottom of the tanks and had to replace my fuel pumps and filters when we finally made it to Seattle. The people who did the work were great, apherently he used to sell the motors to Uniflite, when the factory was still in Bellingham. We live in Victoria,B.C., and do most of our boating in the Gulf Islands, and around the San Juans, but ,hopefully next summer we will be making another trip to Gig Harbor. Hope to see you then.
