Welcome to iboats!

Like he ^^^^^^ said, and also, there will be some other knowledgeable folks along soon. You will find you will have much better luck with getting the info you want, however, if you keep all your posts to one question contained within the same thread, instead of starting a new thread with each post. Simply hit "reply to post" within your OWN thread to add information, or hit the "edit" button on your previous post to add info.

Did it have lots of varoom varoom but no go go? or did it have no varoom varoom..

Makes a difference.. Could be spun hub... Shot coupler.. All kinds of engine troubles.. Here is the question.. Did it feel like it was slipping?

Also I think I saw this post earlier????? Or is there a rash of this problem;)

One thread on the subject will do
