Welcome Shurlock!

Sorry to hear you broke down, happens to everyone eventually. Post up what year/model/engine you have and I'm sure some on here will be able to help you get it figured out.

Nice V! A few here are very knowledgeable about those Johnny Rude engines.

wish I could put a bigger motor than 140 horsepower but just don't have the money right now so I guess I better get it running.

Cool

You say you broke down. I'm assuming that you mean the engine stopped working properly.

Did it stop completely or did it just start running ragged?

How old is the gas you're running in it?

Did you try spraying starting fluid in it? If you did, what happened?

Have you pulled any of the plugs? If so what do they look like?

Sorry you had a bad experience. As said before, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Welcome to the site though. Looking forward to more pics and the eventual fix of your boat.
