Jim Savage Knee Surgery Update 12 years 7 months ago #41579

:laugh:

The surgeon released me today to go back to work and play on my knee surgery of 8 days ago. It is much better, but aches a lot late in the day after walking on it all day.

He stated that it is healing nicely and I did well thru the surgery.

Put the motor back on the G-3 this week, so now I can get in the boat again and run it again!!! Threw that Johnson away!!! Put the wimpy Merc 650 back on.

hello jim, I'm new to these boards but I'm glad to hear that your knee is better :laugh: I'm not really in the circle of "motor traders" but i was just wondering if you knew where to find a short shaft merc 650 (preferably early 1960s) i already asked around but if you had any ideas that would be great.

thanks, DW

DW, I don't know of one that is running right now, but will be on the look out for me.

Tell my friend Ben that I am doing better now.

Good news on both fronts Jim!

Glad you are healing up well, and also glad to hear that the 650 BEAST is back where it belongs. I think the NUT must be getting NUTTIER to think the "Savage II" would ever sport a Johnnyrude. :lol:

wEll Jim it looks like you will be out on the water before me. All I have to do is teach the wife how to back up the boat down to the water and be close enough to float to the dock. It is a good thing we go out on week day when just about nobody there.
When that knee is good and healed up let me know and we will have a foot race. Now you notice I say foot not feet I only have one.
Now some pic of your boat out on the water.

Jim,
Glad the surgery went well. I was looking forward to meeting you and Elizabeth on your trip north to ME maybe next year. When you do come north let me know I will toss a few lobsters on the pot for you.
