    Unable to rev Volvo 5.0 GXi

    Hi - I picked up my new to me 2006 Four Winns H210 today. We were unable to sea trial due to our schedules but felt comfortable about the purchase with all maintenance records, and only 96 hours... Anyway, we ran it on the muffs when we picked it up and it started just fine. When we got home I...

    Decisions, Decisions...buying next boat Crownline vs. Chaparral vs. Sea Ray

    Well, I purchased my first boat earlier this year (Procraft fish/ski) and we realized this wasn't the boat for us. Luckily we got a good deal and actually made some money when it sold in four days on Craigslist! I think I sold it too cheap! Anyway, we decided we want a bowrider. We went to the...

    Loss of power...possible plug problem?

    Hi - Well, it was a beautiful day so I was able to take my boat out for the second time. My goal was to see what RPM at WOT I'm at to make sure the correct prop is on the boat. The engine started fine, acceleration was what I remembered from the first time but the RPM's were at 4600 and I could...

    24 to 21..worth it?

    I recently purchase my first boat, 2002 ProCraft 180 Combo, with a 150 XR6. We took it out for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It handled "OK" and GPS said we got up to 58 with four adults. I didn't realize the steering would be stiff at high speeds but that's another story. The current...

    Hi - Well, after searching for awhile we finally found out boat. We drove a few hours to Lake Oconee to check it out. The owner was pretty nice and he sent multiple pics so we were ready to buy as long as everything checked out and it rode okay. It rained the whole time but we still took it out...

    Watcha think???

    Hi - My wife and I are looking to purchase our first boat! We've been to a few dealers and my wife likes the look of the Four Winns fish and ski but we don't want to spend 30k on a new boat. They also had Stratos and those looked nice but were around the same price. Ideally, we would like to...
