Hi folks,
Thanks for all the help this past winter. I have read all through this site up down and sideways (love those WET reports, too). As our dinghy was named "Tweety"--it's canary yellow--we had to keep the Loony Tunes theme going with the V-20. Here's Pepe, along with a great stick-on I got from some grafix outfit online at Boondoggle.
The craft is a little low, as it was the day after the big rain, the day before I installed the float switch in the bilge of this former lake boat.
She runs okay, 1996 115, but bogs some times above 4000 rpm. Working on the filter and fuel supply issues. Thanks again to all those who have contributed to the knowledge base in here.

Very nice rig glad you are enjoying it. I love the fact that a 35 y.o. boat still has plenty of life left. Its a testament to the design.

Good luck on your bogging issue. Let us know if you need anything.
