Get a wake boat bladder .... Fill with 200 gallons of water. Or on the cheap, get a water bed bladder

You're overthinking it. I would not run a mechanical fuel pump drawing against a closed valve. If you want to run the carb dry, just pull the fuel pump and run the motor

When you add the pod and new engines you will be back to counterlevered

You have to let the PL dry for about 3-5 days before glassing over

Most likely the carb needs work. Verify fuel is squirting. Make sure the choke works Being a 1990 cruisers make sure you do not have moisture in the transom and stringers Most cruisers boats of that era would have needed repair long before 2025.

thats a flip-flop seat back. it basically flips forward for you to sit facing aft. i believe its either TACO or MMC hardware
