The well traveled 1979 Starcraft 18' V5 SS

[Watermann]

The Merc wouldn't get to full RPMs due to a fuel issue, this 2+2 motor has a little accelerator pump that feeds fuel to the bottom 2 cylinders which turned out to be the culprit.

The motor is not a screamer like the old TOP and develops it's power lower in the range topping out at 5250 RPMs. At that I was cruising along at 40 MPH.

Thanks for checking in fellas!

Ready for another season of fishing, the chunky old V5 is still looking new even after several years..
