    3.0 VP Thermostat

    Thanks to help from all the great people here at iBoats, I finally got my boat in the water this afternoon for a shakedown cruise.

    3.0 GSPHUB won't "run"

    Hello all, been reading this forum for a long time and ran into some trouble, so here I am. My brother and I bought a boat with a seized engine, and rebuilt it. When we bought the boat, nothing was hooked up, the motor was just sitting on its supports. Motor broken down, new rings, cylinders...
