well here is some bad news!!! the engine in my vegas pretty much blew up today!! it stopped suddenly while idling.. i wen to crank it and it locks up when the piston reaches the top of the cylinder.. so i decided to pull the head off to inspect it.. the piston and slleve are trashed.. the head button is pitted, and the crank bearings are gritty.. this is only the third time this boat has been on a lake since i bought it new 2 months ago.. would warranty cover this??? i think i am going to just order a new engine for it from tower hobbies.. they are only 84 bucks.. break it in right and hope it last longer than this one did.
