Hi, my name is Matt I live in the Florida Key just got a boat the other day my first boat and it is a 1983 aquasport 17" with a Johnson 140 motor the guy gave it to us. The boat starts up fine and runs but does not want to go over 5000 rpms. I just decided to take it out of the water and clean it and pay someone to fix it. lol But if any one has any info on these please feel free to give some advise here is a picture of it..[/ATTACH]:)

Re: new guy here..

Very nice boat!, great price!...maybe nothing wrong with motor/5000RPM's, have you run it wide open and then trim it up just a bit for a few more RPM's? give it a try before just spending money on it. Of course if it was mine, I'd go over it carefully in detail, new plugs, impeller, lower gear lube, etc., etc., just so you'll be familiar with what you've got! Good Luck!
