fellas, thanks to all for assistance in starting problems, she started up and ran fine next day on trials. est 50 mph. shes sensitive to flooding when key depressed in starting mode. took her up to 5000 short time and ran well. too big an engine wt=450lbs 200 hp. agree with most on 150=175 is plenty. motor sounds good. like my io better for ocean fishing. outboards have come a long way and proven to be good choice. personally like inboard direct drive boats like my 28 sportfish which i built in 71 with twin 318 chryslers. will post pics when i get handle on how to etc. again thank you to all for assistance and may summer bring good fishing & boating times to you. richard
