    New to me used 2.3l

    What I found out in regards to the higher idle that the counter weights for the mechanical advance were worn out, I bought a used distributor and that problem was fixed. Could it be the cause of your other problem I can't say because I didn't experience that one.

    Only 2 9ft stringers on the whole boat? Need to add more?

    This is how my setup was, albeit my boat may be smaller because my stringers were 3/4" plywood. As you can see how stringers, bulkheads and engine mounts are ties together to form the spine "structural part" of your boat.

    Mine did too! I purchased DE1611, the cap of course looked a bit darker but it makes a cleaner/brighter look. I will get the OMC charcoal paint for the drive though.
