Definitely!

​Took the old boat out to Deer Lake to check everything out and it ran great, pulling around 43mph on somewhat rough water! Lots of wake boats out there putting up some big waves.

​I'm going to replace the accelerator pump to settle down the bog-tendency from a WOT start, and change the oil again, but everything else seems good!

​With our crappy ethanol-laden gas and an old boat, ya never know what you'll get on that first fire-up of the season!

​Also need to chase out the threads in the drain plug hole in the manifold to get a tighter fit for the plug, but can't find my 1/4 NPT tap!
