    Another fish finder question

    I was wanting a depth finder but upon pricing them I can get a fish finder for just about the same price.

    1962 lark

    I got my boat running and it runs quite well, I have decarbed it and am running fresh gas in it as well. However after about an hour on the water the motor doesn't want to run at higher rpms.
