    1999 Ocean Runner 200 - Fuel Issue? Giving me fits.

    Hey y'all. So I floated my '84 Hydrasports 2100 with a '99 Ocean Runner 200 last weekend for the first time this season. Engine has had VRO disconnected for years - always run on ethanol free pre-mix. A few days ago, the boat ran fine for a 15 minute run from launch to my house, where we now...

    MarPac Quik View Filter/Separator. Anyone have any experience with it?

    I'm getting my 85 2100 CC Hydrasports back on the water with a nicely refurb'd 200 Ocean Runner. Though it was emptied (but not removed), the tank is pretty dang dirty and still has some water in it - as evidenced by the quick dirtying and water suckup of the Fram PS3808 filter/separator I was...

    1981 235 Johnson changed to a 1977 Rude 140. Different tach pulse?

    My 1981 Hydrasports originally came with a 235 Johnson Sea Horse. I pulled that and put on my old Rude 140. Can anyone tell me whether the tach pulse off the Rude would be different from that of the Sea Horse in terms of readings? I'm showing 5000 RPMS on the Rude at WOT, but not much speed (of...

    Speeding up my Hydrasports/140 Evinrude - Hydrofoil? Advice?

    So I've been working most of the summer - off and on, on my 1981 Hydrasports 2100 CC (Center Console). It's a Kevlar hulled boat and weighs 2100 pounds. Originally, it had a Johnson 235 on it, but that motor was shot, so I took a solid 1977 Evinrude 140 that I had on an old Renken 19 footer...

    1977 Evinrude 140 - Longer driveshaft/lower unit extension?

    Greets - I'm running a 1981 Hydrasports 2100cc with a 1977 Evinrude 140 that I used to have on a 19 foot Renken cc. HSports used to run a 235 Johnson "Two Thirtsty Five." The current 140 has a standard driveshaft/lower unit. I'm reasonably sure that on this boat, I need to lower the motor...

    1977 Evinrude 140 - Frustrating Spark Issue

    Would welcome 'mostly likely' suggestions. I have a firespitting 1977 Rude 140 on the old 19 foot Renken I inherited from my granddad (and used to fish with him on as a kid). The motor has been ridiculously reliable and fast as a scalded dog through the years but just lately quit firing on the...

    Fix/Restore a 1981 Hydrasports 2100CC or move on?

    First off, this is my first post to iBoats - so forgive me for any common breaches of forum etiquette. I'd welcome some thoughts on a boat: restoration or throw in the towel? My uncle brought his 1981 Hydra-sports 2100 CC with a kevlar hull down and a Johnson 235 (two thirsty five) Seahorse to...
