Had battery issues Sat, ran it a little but put it away because I was sick of idling back from Kellys. There's some electrical gremlins driving me nuts on this thing. Anyone know a cracker jack 12V/DC electrical guy?

Lol
it lame, was cruising 65 there at 4200, she's not fast but does what I need out of boating, I have zero desire to make it much faster if ever at all, it's financially easy to run over making fast, if I wanted fast I would have a fountain but don't wanna get beat up out there...

Come on man, everybody wants their boat to be faster.
The guys running 90 want to run 100+, the guys running a buck twenty five want to go 150, and so it goes.

Everybody wants a faster boat....

Sure within reason personally I don't want to spend endless money to get there or have an unreliable boat I've had enough problems through the years as it is I'm perfectly happy with what I have.

Cheboygan, Michigan. One year we did the Inland Waterway the week before the Boyne Thunder Poker Run. Started in Burt Lake and ended up at Mackinac Island.
