I'm a first time boat owner, so picking up my Hondo was a dream come true! Not too many people involved with jet boats up here in Alaska so information from you guys is huge. Anyways, I was able to finally splash the boat yesterday and took it real easy ( under 3000rpms) for around 20 min. No issues, so I pushed it at 4000 for another 5 miles. Exhaust note got deep and noticed a little milk dripping in the front of the passenger head. Shut her down and trailered it home. I don't want to get discouraged, but am I fighting a losing battle with this 455 Olds. It was a fresh rebuild when I got the boat; bored .30 and came with a Dooley pan. Not sold on the dual hi rise setup it has either. Any tips would be awesome!
