    Anyone tried one of these boats?

    is this any different than the million different jon boats that can be had for $100 used?

    Just a reminder that summer will be here soon...

    And I have a million things to do to get everything ready. But today was too nice to waste being productive. Skiff started on the very first pull after a couple of months of rest. I was so surprised I didn't know what to do (the battery was very dead).

    OK I’ve had enough.

    Looks like we're going to make it 2 years in a row without any measurable snow. There had never been a year without snow before last year. We DID have the wettest winter on record. All rain. 35'. Absolutely miserable. I would LOVE some snow.

    Engine replacement help…

    No, I meant using the module as well. Trying to think about why it wouldn't work. Biggest issue I'd think is that it would get the rpms wrong. It would depend on the advance curve (dunno what the total is on both engines), would advance too soon on the V8 and also screw with idle (though maybe...

    Wasn't someone on here using a v6 in a V8 or vice versa? Though I'd think at a minimum the timing map would be off

    Engine replacement help…

    Yeah, it's a smoother engine and doesn't feel like it's working as hard, but I expected a much bigger performance gain, both pulling a skier (stern weight for sure) and top end (maybe gained 2 mph). Doesn't seem like enough of a difference between 220 hp at the prop and 170 at the crank. I am...

    I can say that in my boat, you can really feel the weight of the V6 in the back. A V8 would probably be too much

    Pretty sure this isn't true. Though I used the flywheel that came with the block, I don't recall which balancer I used These things are a dime a dozen in the scrap yards. I got mine for $180. IMHO, you're much better off with a truck engine than a 30 year old Marine engine. Almost by...

    Oil pressure

    Shouldn't be hard to find the source if it's leaking that fast

    Question about 90 amp fuse on starter

    Don't have the diagram in front of me, but harness should be protected by the 50a fuse ... Or do you mean if the orange physically melts and takes out other wires?

    Question about 90 amp fuse on starter

    The older models didn't have them. I find it odd that it's there when there's no protection from the battery to the starter. I think it's there mostly to protect the alternator.

    383 FWC - Strong gas smell while idling, lower compression in one cyl. Any thoughts?

    Did I miss the part where this is a fi engine?

    Oar length

    I have a Jon boat that is exclusively me powered for crabbing, some fishing, tooling around. Usually no more than 1 or 2 miles at a stretch. Prefer it to the kayak. 7 ft oars for me.
