Just bought a 21' Sea Ray 6.3 Mid Cabin and we love the boat but when I went for our first ride with the owner who is an older gentlemen who has owned it for 20 years it would barely run above idle and kept stalling. The only way we could get it started was with a shot of ether and if you gave it much throttle it would die. I threw out the anchor and changed the fuel filter which I had bought the day before and we just made it back to the loading ramp. He said he put sta-bil in the fuel tank last fall and the tank is nearly full but I have a feeling the gas is bad and there is probably a lot of crap in the tank. I am planning to take off the large filler hose going to the tank and syphoning out the gas and see what I get. I pulled the 30" rubber fuel line off tonight and man was it old, cracked and nearly falling apart, so much so I wonder if it was the original hose. The boat has a 2009 4.3L V6 that the owner bought brand new from top to bottom from merc and said he barely used the boat after his wife died six years ago so it has very low hours. The boat has always lived on a trailer and was used for day trips. Any thing I should be looking for besides bad gas?
