I sold my business 8 years ago and the last thing I want is to get it back.

What if you sold that business, pocketed the proceeds, and could suddenly get back in for $0…? 

Still not interested…?

Got my boat back Friday from Tommy’s. They aren’t selling any boats right now. Sounds like some things are in the works, at least for the DFW dealership. I’m hopeful for a good outcome for the employees and current customers. Hard to imagine Malibu would give up one of, if not their strongest market in the country. 

Oh trust me… they will NOT concede this market. There will be a new dealer in DFW very soon, is my guess.

My family owns a hardware store, and we used to make our own ropes and handles. After breaking several that resulted in bad crashes, we went back to purchasing them.

Wow.  What was the failure modus?
Handle,  line or splice?

It sounds like the tank vent is plugged. In my area, mud hornets build nests in the vents. The gas can method doesn’t have a vapor lock gasket around the filler so air is allowed to release through the fill tube. 

Getting her out of storage this week to summerize, and I would love to take it to a gas station to fill it up with ethanol free before I put it in the water. Problem is, when I try to fuel at the pump, the pump either shuts off or the gas comes out of the vent next to the nozzle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have no problem adding fuel using my 5-gallon gas cans with my fluid transfer pump.
