As it turns out the starter went but it will be ready Wednesday.

Overall in the scheme of things I have had good luck. I knew the supercharger would need to come off it was just a matter of time and just having a head gasket go was an easy fix opposed to a catastrophic failure like throwing a rod.

The starter is just a starter.. what can you do... But the good luck is it happened after a great weekend and right at my own dock. no need to have a tow etc.

The great news is it will be ready for the 4th and for my trip to VA.
Good job man. It is refreshing to see someone with such a positive attitude.
