    ENGINE NOT STARTING...KICKING MY BUT

    Thunderbolt 5 ignition. Looks like you have an MPI engine, which is a different beast than the standalone systems... But you say you have a traditional coil?

    Only 3psi on new electric fuel pump

    I am not impressed with Carter at all. I went through 3 pumps last season. First one 9 psi, flooded carb. Second was 2.5 psi. 3rd was 3psi, and is still in there. Runs fine, but the connections are garbage. They're just push on, and I've had 4 occasions where a lead has fallen off and killed the...

    No power to coil

    Are we dealing with a merc or an omc? What amplifier? Where would there be power at the distributor?

    ANOTHER WATER IN OIL QUESTION

    Possible. Did you do a compression test prior to teardown? Probably would have shown up there if that were the case.

    Nvm, this might not apply depending on your ignition system. Do you have a Delco, tb 5, other?

    Repowering 97 crownline. Best options?

    Shift interrupt is from negative coil through switch to ground. No power.

    2005 regal commodore 2750 stringer/transom material?

    Lifetime hull warranty? That's ridiculous. I'm just going off what he says. Certainty bellows would be best case. Any link for the warranty?

    Sounds fine. it only grounds the ignition. Just activate the switch, if your engine stalls it works.

    Fuel contamination in my brand new pontoon

    Agree with @Grub54891 . That's mostly water. Fuel might actually look good once the water separates.

    How much should extra weight slow me down?

    Vortec, 4bbl. Should be 50hp, but 200# weight hit. I'll be probably getting a 4 blade prop at some point and will likely drop, but I'm pretty much where I should be most of the time. Still 4600 with 3-4 on board. I still haven't had a chance to see how it pulls me on a slalom ski...

    And if you feel like buying used, in my neck of the woods they are literally $15 at the pull a part.

    How much should extra weight slow me down?

    Just curious. Still haven't gotten the performance I expected after my 3.7l --> 4.3l upgrade. It's a touch faster on the top with better mid range. Me + full tank gets me 48-49 mph @ 46-4700 rpm. Today out with about 1000# extra people/gear (6 real people, 2 kids) and topped out at 42 mph @ 4300...
