I am new, but also old.
The new thing is me being on this forum with my 1984 Starcraft Islander 19. She too is new, but also old, so we're a good fit. I bought her two days ago in Calgary, where she has been since 2008, but before that she was in Pontiac, Michigan.
She has a Penta AQ145a tied to a 280 leg. I have never owned anything with a leg before. Well, except animals and furniture that is. So I have a lot to learn. Bought from a guy who obviously loved and cared for her, and spent a bunch of money he could never hope to recoup. Guess it's my turn now.
She is on a good trailer, with a pretty new Tohatsu 9.8 4 stroke kicker, and has a pretty practical-looking bimini top. She has been self-isolating during Covid, so idled a little rough when we started her. I'll try some new gas and maybe plugs to see if that clears her throat. She is heading up to Stuart Lake, British Columbia in a couple of weeks to see if we can salvage a little of this season. Here are some pictures:
