    Problems with 1972

    Just bought a 1972 Crestliner with a 120hp Mercruiser IO 4 cylinder last weekend. It's my first boat so I'm completely clueless about it. We've taken it out 3 times so far. First 2 times were alright, but when you open the throttle up too much it will make a popcorn popping sound. And if you...
