    Stereo Upgrade

    Those crazy multi-millionaires up on the Three Lakes chain will put a rifle round into your engine if you disturb them with too loud of tunes. I never heard if they caught the guy, I suspect not, but I know of 2 boats that didn't start the next day.

    Crestliner VT18 DX

    should I run from this boat due to porpoising issues or be confident that it’s a good boat? You will find that out on the water test. No test drive, no sale. What makes you think it will porpoise? Porpoising is usually a weight distribution or propping issue.

    If it was cheap enough, run it till it sinks, wear a life jacket, say a prayer, Make all passengers sign a waiver, carry lots of liability insurance, and go have fun. It may last a few months or 5 years. Then junk it and move on. JMW2Cents

    Mounting twin outboards to inflatable

    If you truly want redundancy for your crew of 5, get a second boat. 2 motors, separate fuel cells, extra carrying capacity/space. Easily tow one in if it becomes disabled.

    Primer Bulb

    Do this, many of the new bulbs must be held vertically, arrow pointing up, ti make the check valves work. The bulbs are 2' from the motor on my boats, between the water separator and the motor. You do not have too much hose. I have 15' of fuel line to my separator, then 5' to the motor.

    what size kicker should I get.

    You basically have a Starcraft v190, make in the same factory. For a boat like that, it is so much easier to find and operate a nice 9.9, 15, or 20 hp, with power tilt, remote start, controls, and steering. It will do your trolling, get you back home, and have the thrust to keep your bow into...
