I forgot to mention that I'm running a 26P.

Marc, They do have boat/trailer storage in Florida you know.

Only five months here for me... and that will give some time to go through some things (new gauges, lighting, polishing, tuning).

I'm just happy that I splashed her this year versus waiting until next season. Perfect conditions last Saturday (freezing now).

Just out of curiosity.... have you checked to make sure your carb is opening up all the way?

Tom I'm going to tear it apart in the spring , the problem is it sits so long between seasons . Just sucks because its all there and just not performing . Spring I'm doing the carb , fuel guage , and timing also going to figure out the Outdrive gears maybe tomorrow before it goes to storage. Feeling disappoint here
