Link did not work. Happy for you Charlie, the test will be putting her in the water. Have a paddle just in case tho! You may never stop smiling when she takes off.

yeah, i guess i'm just kinda dopey when it comes to this tech stuff. take my word for it. it's running. maybe at some point i'll figure out how to post pictures and videos. until then... you'll have to take my word for it.

If you’re at all concerned, you might want to join BoatUS, and include towing in your membership. When mine was giving me overheating trouble, it saved me quite a bit of money getting a few tows.

100% agree. Get it with the trailer option. $145 a year and well worth it. ONE tow can equal several hundred dollars, so it's cheap insurance.

yeah, i've looked into this. i believe seatow has more coverage in my boating area. my dad had boat us years ago and he used them a few times per year. can't buy better insurance. it's high on my list.
i'm gonna put it in a tub this weekend and see what happens. i think/hope it was just a question of a hose that couldn't provide the needed flow. i'll keep you guys posted. also, gonna clean/rebuild the carb on the kicker and hopefully get it running as well.
