New iboats forum member. Long time lurker. Finally decided to join up. Been boating since I was born (grew up on Kentucky Lake), but finally bought my first boat last August. Had a few PWCs prior to the boat purchase.
The boat:
2001 VIP Vision 1886 SBRC
4.3L Mercruiser I/O 190hp
Unknown brand 3-blade stainless prop (on it when I got it and previous owner wasn't sure of the brand either)
180 hours
Runs great, but has the dreaded 4.3 run on or dieseling, however you want to put it. I hope to remedy that soon. The idle is a bit high @ ~950RPM. I'm hoping bringing that down will help in addition to a general tune up. Only got to put it in the water 3 times before the season ended for a total of 8 hours. Looking forward to warmer weather.
