Dear Scott
      If I were you I would stay away from any eng

that had front

impactand more so if there are parts broken due to

the impact. You

are taking a
real chance that no inside parts are broken or

bent and for

$3500.00 that is
kind of on the high side. I would sit this one out

and keep on the

look out
for another one.  Just my opinion.

Thanks for all the input.  I'll either buy a new one
or go with a PP 13B. (Congrat's to Paul on the PP).

We are going to do some HP runs in a few hours.
