Na, Cathey never buys nothin' new :D! By "repowering," I was thinking along the lines of a used motor rather than fixing that one. Hopefully, it can be fix rather than being totally fried.
On the subject of boats, I had quite an outing with my RC boat last time on the water a couple days ago while on the lake with the real boat! It's a 36" nitro-powered boat that can go 35MPH. It was only the second time out with it, so the engine isn't broken in yet. First, it died in the middle of the lake and had to be retrieved and restarted which went pretty well. I got it up and running again and headed out onto the open water. It was really going FAST! Before I knew it, it hit a wave, caught air, flipped over and immediately began to sink! We raced over to it with the motorboat, and I jumped into the water to retrieve it. With some direction, I swam over and grabbed it just as the bow was about to go under! It has now been dubbed "The Titanic! Luckily, the fuel supply to the engine was cut off before the water came in which would have hydrolocked it immediately! I think it's going to be fine since everything but the throttle servo still works.
