    My new pontoon

    I bought a brand new Premier 22.5 Legend RE Triple toon with a 150 E-Tec. The center log has full length strakes. The ride is smooth and sweet, top speed is low 40's. It's a great boat for cruising or pulling tubes or skiers.

    Johnson '73 85hp Will not idle properly

    Untill last weekend, the motor ran fine (for all these years). Now, the motor is hard to start (warm or cold) but eventually it will. Once it starts, I constantly adjust the idle arm to keep it from stalling. If I put it in gear and go fast, the motor runs fine. When I slow down and try to...
