Any insight as why the engines have 180 f
thermostat vice prescribed 160f
We ran it and engines stay right at 180 to 190
But it was 57 f air and watwr was down 70s
this boat spent all of its life in Michigan and new york lakes
We are down here in north east texas and summers are 90 to 105 f
broke my foot
So the continuation of parts gathering continues
Until I get a walking cast end of month
oh joy

well since i have a leg in a cast and finally have time to sit on my ass and bore the crap out of the internet
i figured i would post up some of the pics of her the days leading up to her coming home with us
hopefully cast comes off this week, I have boxes of maintenance parts, for end of season.
