Took the boat out for it's maiden journey, went alright for it first time. The gas in it was over 2 years old.
Well the boat at WOT would just bogg down.
Ran it all day like that until it was out of fuel. Next day fresh fuel took it back out same problem.
Well I took it home, cleaned the air filter WOW was that thing a mess! Due to my negligence of not cleaning it or inspecting it prior to taking it out. I also put new spark plugs in it. Took it out again and wow. It was like a new boat WOT went great and it's surprisingly fast.
Anyhow just sharing my experience with you all. The transom is sealed up nicely with no leaks.
Hope everyone has a happy and safe boating season.
