Took the boat out this morning and was able to complete 3 laps around the lake( about 45-60 minutes running at 4k RPMs) boat died on me once but started right back.. Started to get on plane and it died again... Had to adjust the seat and needle for the fuel float and once I adjusted it it never died again. Only major issue for me is the exhaust hoses are leaking water and I wan to stop it altogether or minimize the amount of water that leaks... And the fuel gauge isn't working correctly, shows full all the time.....I can play with timing a bit more but for now I will get comfortable with the boat and gain more confidence in the boat....
Want to say thanks to everyone who was able to give input(especially when I was very frustrated) and keep me going in the right direction to get me on the water without breaking the Bank( wife was especially happy on this matter)
