    Broken carb part

    I have a 1977 35hp that's been great, but new job responsibilities and a third child have left my boat alone for too long.

    1982 Wellcraft 18' Bowrider

    Evening. Does anyone have any experience(s) they might share with this particular model? Looking at one, have driven it. Powered by Evinrude 140, seems to perform well. Planes quickly, very dry, cruises easily at 3200 rpm, pulling a skier at that. What should I be on the lookout for with aboat...
