popsjumper 2 #6 February 5, 2009 Yeah. The owner got tired of filling the oil reserves so he had it converted. Sick. Besides that, the starboard motor was leaking more oil than the port-side. They couldn't fix the port-side one to make it right.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
