Another question.
There's a lot of shallow water here on the FL west coast. How much water does she need to run in? To float with the motor up? I've only been looking for a CC up to this point, but this boat seams like such a good deal. Thanks, Bo

I went and looked at the boat on Friday. I really like the layout of the boat. It was solid, just needed a screw here, a hatch there, some new wiring...etc, but overall a nice boat.
It was however, woefully under-powered. The Yamaha 150 better should have pushed it much better. The only thing I can attribute that to would be compression (I forgot to take my tester) or possibly over-propped. Felt like it had a 75 horse. Any ideas? Bo

Not a good sign about that motor......you're on the right track ref compression check.
As all have confirmed, a good 150 lifts these V's on plane easily, and runs to 40 + or -. If the motors shot and you like the boat......... figure an offer as if no motor included.

Spark plug tester, compression tester, and def look at the pitch of the prop. Check engine compression with the engine warm, not cold. Prop should be around a 15-17p (avg) for these boats with a 150 engine. 19 would be pushing it and anything over that is probably overpitched and will have a detrimental effect on performance and engine longevity. (IMHO). Also, do a little homework and find out the engine mfg's recommended WOT rpm's for that engine. Then look at the tach while out in the water and see where you are in relation to that number at WOT. That should give you an indication of how the engine is performing relative to the pitch of the prop.
