Thanks for all of ya'lls info. We ran yesterday...and it was windy...and a cold front was moving through. Both boats were acting up a bit....would start off strong, and then bog down a bit. Then it started getting colder....then it got rainy cloudy, then we packed it up and barely got out in time as the rain came pouring down....now it is cold here in Southeast TX. Flyboy's flexshaft was still in great shape after about 8-10 runs. Looks like he got it right.
