Hey guys, thanks for reading this. Just bought a new Sweetwater 240 SD Pontoon boat with a Yamaha F150 4 stroke. I've had a few boats in the past and some jet skis. It's an awesome boat, but after the first weekend of boating I ran into a couple issues and am looking for some advice:

Hi guys. So I have a 1987 Wellcraft 180 Classic with a 175hp I/O OMC that usually runs great. 2 years ago, during the winter the outdrive water pump hose came off and I neglected to see it before taking the boat out that spring. D'oh! The engine overheated, and we ended up have to replace all of...

I recently bought a 1990 Bayliner Capri 1700 with a Force 50 HP Outboard. I live in Colorado and was just boating at a lake at 9,000 feet. The boat performs great but I would love to squeeze some more HP out of it. The seller gave me one of those hydrofoils which I haven't put on yet. Do they...
