    Motor Position on 20' Pontoon

    Good afternoon boat experts. I purchased a 20' pontoon this summer and the performance is less than stellar. It has a retrofitted 90hp Yamaha 2-stroke and I get about 21mph, but at WOT I run through a gallon a mile. I know that one issue is my prop is worse for wear and I'm going to replace that...

    New to the forum, having a few problems

    Hello everybody, I'm the proud owner of a 1993 17.5' Caravelle bow rider with a 3.0L OMC Cobra. The boat had 3 or 4 electrical problems which I was able to fix no problem. It had some loose grounds, bad fuel gauge, and I put in an automatic bilge pump switch. Now for the problems I can't fix or...
