    1998 Force 90 ELPT by Mercury Marine

    Well, took it out on the water started and ran fine. Up the lake and back, did some fishing, basically had it out all day. 46 mph all trimmed out on the lake, same as it ever was. Took a video and will present to the shop that diagnosed engine as "needing to be rebuilt".
