I'm hoping to run out of MI heard the bites about 20 miles north right off the beach, all along Monmouth county...just don't know how rough a ride that's gonna be 4-6 @ 10 seconds...

Skunkboat, do you have a full enclosure and fueled up at Hoffman's around 4 today? If so I may have cruised by on my way in and admired the v

Ended up going out today, boat handled great, ocean was calm but we got a late start and from what I gathered bite shut down early, by the time boat traffic got there, me included, fishing was rough. Great day on the water, no fish to show for it, First skunk this year for me Get out early!

Hey guys, First true season with the boat, and I've been dying to get out this fall for stripers. I just feel like the marine forecast has been terrible every weekend, and I'm starting to think I just need to go for it and stop waiting for perfect conditions. Tomorrow might be that day, what say...

I'd love to take it off your hands, where in Rockland?

Before putting this stainless on(last weekend) I had a aluminum 13.75x15 on there and that turned 5300 and 31mph, I really just wanted to see how the boat reacted to the switch in stainless. Definitely a better bite and acceleration, will have to try going down in pitch to get the rpms up. If I...

Looking for some top speed numbers, I have a v20 with a johnson 140 on it, and with my stainless prop am hitting 34mph at my best, the motor is only turning 5200 rpm, but I'm not sure I want to go from a 13 3/8x 17 to a 13 pitch to get in the right rpm, I think that would hurt my top speed...am...

I'm going to make it down, I'll most likely get worst in show, but I can see some of these beauties in person Where do you guys usually meet? I was there yesterday and it was packed, south end looked a little less jam packed, might be easier to find us little guys with all the monster boats that...

Well I wish I was posting lovely things about my boat, but instead it's just more issues with my motor...and I'm determined to get to the meet up in August at tices shoal(slipped in the Metedeconk) So I over heated the johnson, it keeps kicking in to slow mode within ten minutes of leaving the...

Just to check that it's not going into slow mode like mine was...disconnect the temperature sensors that are in each head, electrical tape the wires just in case, run the boat and see if it still keeps you at the low rpm...don't run it for long because you want to know if your motor is...

Well thanks for the advice it was something I found researching, the motor was in s.l.o.w. Mode...one of the temperature sensors was bad, and I found out my warning horn doesn't work! So two quick things to replace, but she ran nice, didn't go out for too long just because I'd rather have a...

I drove by that boat a few days ago, looked pretty nice from the road, didn't see a for sale sign, was just admiring

Thanks for the ideas, timing arm looks like it's advancing, spark at all 4 cylinders, I'll have to check the fuel line at the valve good idea! When you say the carbs are very delicate, what kind of solution should I soak them in? Or should I just clean with carb cleaner and blow them out with...

So I finally got my boat in the water after the worst water pump experience ever. Great pee stream so at least I got that right! Idle out of the no wake zone, hit about 8mph and then start pushing the throttle up...motor just shakes, violently and bogs down, rpms won't increase(can't tell you...

How much were you looking for? Might be nice to have a spare, or swap my mismatched one out

Well I replaced everything and I'm now convinced that I'm never going to get this lower unit back on...I've tried to get it to align for over three hours to no avail. Shift rod height is correct, water tube is going in smoothly but something is preventing it from getting the last 3 inches or so...

How do you test at WOT? If i move my throttle lever on the control box out of neutral it won't crank Never knew you were supposed to test at WOT, interesting

Okay guys, compression numbers as follows 120, 118, 113, 118...So to say I'm amazed the numbers match my compression from last week is an understatement. Now it brings me to a dilemma...do I pull the heads and try to get this gunk out? Unless I put the head gasket on wrong I assume I can't screw...

Yes I already have the water pump, thermostats, house barb nipples on order, today will determine if I'm getting head gasket as well. Doing a compression test with the thermostat housing off the block should not effect anything correct? I know it's only 8 bolts but I don't feel the need to put...

I am running premix, previous owner disconnected vro system. I will try grounding the warning horn as well as the compression test this afternoon and I guess I'll proceed from there. This may seem stupid, but every time I've compression tested I've done it cold, with water running and warm with...
