    Something seems off...

    Hello guys, I have a 2015 Sun Tracker XP3 (tritoon) with a Mercury 150HP. We love the boat, but I know I am not getting my top speed where I should. WOT is only about 4500-4700RPM and 28mph with medium load. Even loaded I get 25mph with significantly more people on board. The prop is the...

    Can't decide which way to go...

    I'm in the market for a boat. I've had a small bass boat and one fish and ski that was an outboard. I'm looking at a 2014 Bayliner 185 zero hours, and a 2003 Crownline 225 LPX With 200 hours. The 225 is in great shape. Very bright yellow, clean, and we'll maintained. I know the owner and trust...

    New to me Bayliner

    I just bought a 1987 Bayliner 2450 Sunbridge. The engine is an OMC 350, and has been rebuilt. I picked it up for a whopping $1500 from a lady here locally. She told me she just wants it gone. Her husband had replaced the engine with rebuilt one, but before he even finished it, he fell ill and...

    No Spark '91 200hp Johnson

    Well, I went to start the boat up for the first time this year. Got everything cleaned up and ready, but once I turned her over she wouldn't fire off. I've got no spark at all 6 plugs, even with the black/yellow wires unplugged. I was frustrated so I had my brother in law turn it over while I...

    1992 200HP Johnson

    I just bought a 1992 Stratos with a 200HP Johnson. My question is, how much water should I get from the tell tale while just on muffs? I know muffs can be misleading. I get anywhere from a drip to an almost steady stream as I increase the throttle. Seems like a lot of water is coming out right...

    Is this sound normal???

    I have a 1972 Mercruiser 165 inline 6. It is running and sounding good, however, there is a noise coming from the outdrive that is odd. It's a kind of constant clank/knock, but goes away in gear. My first thought was it's not fully disengaging, but when I put it in gear there is no grinding...

    First boat, will it....

    Hey guys, I just got my first boat today. It's a 1972 19' Tri Sonic with a merc 165. What I am curious about is, with 4-6 adults in it, will it still pull a tube or skier with no issues? I am going to have to do some work to get the floor back in shape, but have alot of time during the week to...

    Floor question

    Hello, new here and just got a project boat. I am going to start pulling things apart tomorrow to see what all is rotted, but I know the top plywood is soft and the one board I can see in the rear of the storage area is starting to get bad. What I am wondering is, just because the top pieces are...
