The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Yes I have read some posts on this. But what is the best over product to add to the gas tank to clean and maintain a motor that is running fairly well? 1992-1994 Johnson 28SPL Outboard Thanks!
I have a 1992 Johnson 28 SPL motor in nice condition. But I have read once or twice somewhere on the forums on upgrading that, because of a horsepower rating change back then, that my motor motor is about the equivalent of the previoulsy rated 35 hp and that the 20-35 hp versions were pretty...
Hi,
I'm asking a question for my father-in-law who wants badly to sail but really does not have the cash to but any kind of sailboat. Only thing he has sailed is a snark and they are not the way to go on Lake Ontario and obviously have no room for more than one and you are basically laying in...
A few weeks ago, after installing a new jack plate, I did something that should disqualify me from ever using the term boat much less touching or driving one. I Basically backed the boat down the ramp and forgot to lift the outboard up. My helpers never noticed either. No matter now as we...
We have a 2 hp Mariner outboard that runs like a top out of the water. But as soon as it goes in to the lake (Lake Ontario) it stalls out on a little 13" aluminum boat. Is it possible that the rather dull chewed up plastic 3 blade prop just can't cut through the rougher water there and a metal...
I have a 15' fiberglass boat that is underpowered with only a 28 hp Johnson outboard.
Top speed with a gps and one driver was 23 mph. But it would be nice to do that with 2-3 people if possible - or even 18-20 mph with 3 aboard.
After researching here, I've discovered that 'part' of our problem...
Here is a link that should have my questions and the photos
that 'may' help with an answer or two. Leaving for vacation in a few days
so time is precious.
Thanks!!! Bill

Hi,
I have an old 15' Larson runabout with a 28hp Johnson longshaft outboard. See link below for photos.
It is obiously badly underpowered but I don't have the cash for another motor. I'm trying to milk every mph I can out of it. Last year we maxed at about 18-20 (GPS) with just 2 people...
I have a 15 foot fiberglass Larson runabout from the mid-late sixties in great condtion. Motor is in great condition BUT way to small. It was used for fishing only by the previous owner. Has a Johnson 28 SPL from about 1992 and I can't afford a new motor. Last year I put a Hydrofoil and I think...
I think I may have a propblem - hopefully not to big.
This week I cleaned my hull (70's Larson white fiberglass) with a prouduct I bought from the local marina.
It said apply with a brush full strength and then was off with water.
I did that and now there are hundreds of small bubbles all around...

I've been messing with our new/old Larson boat all summer. I've written several posts and received great info. It is obvioulsy underpowered but some of what I have done has increased the spead - new prop, trim, hydro foil, and especially messing...
I have a 15' fiberglass old Larson (pretty heavy) that I cannot get to plane because it came with just a Johnson 28spl motor. Seems like a 1991 according to this site

I have a Johnson 28SPL from the late 80's to mid 90's I believe. Trying order a prop. but the numbers I got are on a plate on the unit that attaches the motor to the transome. Neither come up as a valid numbers anywhere online
and 2 different people read them off. I tansposed them many ways and...
I have an underpowered boat now and can't afford an adequate motor.
It was used for fishing and for that it was fine.
It is a Johnson 28 SPL. on a 15' fiberglass. does 10-11 with 2 people and maybe 18-19 mph with one passenger according to my gps.
I've read several times (and even today on...
I have been reading endlessly on this topic and can't seem to come to a conclusion.
Bottom line is that I have an older 15' fiberglass runabount that is underpowered until a new motor is purchased. Has a Johnson 28 SPL Long shaft that peaks at about 10-11 mph with 2 people and maybe 18 with...
Hi,
I have a question about a boat we bought last year. It is an old Larson fiberglass - I think American 150 model. 15 feet long. Nice shape and everything works. The only issue is that it came with just a 28 hp Johnson SPL long shaft motor. We knew it was underpowered. The former owner used...
