Congrats! Mine's still shrink wrapped. May 1st or so I'll open it up and "Summerize" it. Can't wait.

Re: About Time!!!

Hmmm...2 weeks later and guess what...still not in the water!<br /><br />Added pertronix upgrade...then started stopped working...fiddled with that and it started working...rain...rain...nice but family plans...etc. This weekend she will be wet (unless something else goes - tilt/trim motor doesn't sound quite right). *sigh*<br /><br />No matter how hard I try..I just can't see to get her in the water when I want.<br /><br />-JMW

WOOT!<br /><br />Just took her out on a nearby lake...water temps still in the 50's so no tubing for daughter..but other than that she is running terrific! Still have a problem (prob carb) where she will start to lose power after running wide open for a few minutes...but cruising speed is about 35mph soo..not too worried right now.<br /><br />-JMW

That's more likely a fuel delivery issue. May want to see if the gas tank is venting properly. You might be creating a vacuum in the tank with high fuel draw while at WOT.

Re: About Time!!!

I was thinking along the simular lines...fuel starvation...was thinking that my carb needed some adjustments...will look at the vent though...it always blows fumes at me while I am filling up so I assumed that it was venting well enough.<br /><br />You get your boat out yet?<br /><br />-JMW
