Hi bgreene,
It has a '95 200hp Merc Xri on it (efi and premix).
Its great except that it loses power for a minute or so about 10 minutes into each day. Then its fine for the rest of the day. The loss comes and goes like a toggle switch. I replaced the filters, rebuilt the low pressure fuel pump and checked the fuel rail pressure while it was failing but the pressure was good. I'm now thinking its an ignition/ECU issue that happens when its in the process of fully warming up. I'll probably take it to a mechanic after the season is over as I'm not geared up to troubleshoot all of the ECU sensors etc. Still, its real strong other than that morning blip and cruses 35 no problem. Tops out just over 50.
Local fishing is mostly the Hudson River above the TZ bridge and the LI sound around Norwalk - although I put it in by my friends place in Perth Amboy too some times. Bigger trips are usually to Lake George (last weekend), Cape Cod (next weekend) and 1000 islands, Georgian Bay or southern Ontario in the late spring. I'm really enjoying the added range and stability over my old Manatee...
