Glad to hear it! Now get out there and make up all those fish you would have caught! ;D

Well I finally got to take my boat out for the first time since I got it back and it seems mine is fixed also. It actually gets up on the water and runs now. I couldn't get it to bounce when I took it out, the water was about 2ft with white caps in places and I was riding on top of them like it should with no bouce at all.

At one point by myself I got up to 54 mph with a 90hp on a 17 ft boat so I'd say it's fixed and ready to catch some fish.

I hate I missed the Spring fishing in my boat but at least I can go whenever I want to now. The next problem to fix is how to pay for gas, LOL!

Glad to hear it is all starting to work out for ya!  That was one long painful thread to read through, and I think we all felt your pain.

Let us know if you find a fix on that gas issue, though!  I think we'd all be interested and write you in for President in November.
