    Does anyone know the name of this boat?

    Here is a link to a List of Aluminium Boat makers. These Brands are usually Planing Hulls, but you might find a Displacement Hull in there too. http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/index.php?title=Main_Page

    Evinrude 25202r WOT adjustment

    What is the Gap on your Inline Tester? If less than 3/8", it can spark all day, but there is no Guarantee that once the Compression Rises in the Combustion Chamber, that will deliver a spark strong enough to jump the gap on the Spark Plug

    Evinrude 25202r WOT adjustment

    Does the Top Wire provide a Spark that can jump a 3/8" gap? If it does, check the plug. If plug is fine, check compression.

    Too much motor on 11ft aluminum boat ???

    Scott, and myself, have both recommended engines of 6 hp or less as max. However, you are free to put something bigger on if you want. I've seen people put 25 hp on boats like that. Not very smart, but they did it. I don't know what happened afterwards...

    Too much motor on 11ft aluminum boat ???

    Looking at the Chine, I wouldn't put more than the 6 that was on it. Go too fast with that hull, and she will trip and flip in a turn

    1976 Mercury 1150 - Water Problems, Several of Them

    I replaced the Gasket 3 times before the Service Manger took pity, ordered a new cover and gave it to me no charge. They warp if they get too hot, and even a new gasket leaks after a few runs. I installed them dry, I installed them with sealer, the Dry lasted longer, but the real fix was the new...

    As neat as it is to watch the Ocean Racers take Air and land, it doesn't feel all that much fun, when it is you and your boat doing it. My Hull, well my boat's hull, doesn't have a Pad

    Looking to find Glastron model and max hp motor

    Looking at the hull design, and the boats length, 55 would be pushing the Limit I've put 140s on 15ft hulls rated for 90. Whether or not those 99cu in V4s could make more than 128hp in Stock form is another matter. But the hull was an entirely different configuration
