Was a long season for us. The boat was back firing through the intake as soon as the boost would come in. (In the video) this lead to a lot more.
Tried plugs,wires,coil, iat, coolant sensor, knock sensor, had the motors tuned on the lake. Nothing worked.



Look like gas? It’s not...

Backfire wasted the intercooler. Water in the cylinders.

Backfire, snapped the arp stud on the blower pulley.

All new gaskets, bypass valve, checked the rotors, fuel pressure regulator.

Put a whole new engine harness on it. Which I had to cut up and add in a relay to work for or motor. (Thank god Eddie walked me through it)

Engine harness did the trick! After the whole summer of working on it, on “vacation” it’s running great. Ran up to 108mph with 4 of us and 3/4 tank of gas then the throttle cable fell out off the clamp. Going buy a billet clamp like the other side has. At least we can put it away knowing it runs good. Might pulley up for a few more lbs next year. Thought y’all might enjoy the struggle as we all go through it.

Not as impressive as some in this thread, but here is our boat. 2005 Sea Ray Sport 200. Has a Mercruiser 305 and I can cruise all day on one tank of gas. Including throwing..err..towing people on tubes and stuff.

I usually put it in the water in Lake Havasu since it's stored at my grandparents place out there.

Near my dads boats Newport RI.

Everyone’s worst nightmare on the water. 1am a 40’ boat on one of the transient moorings caught on fire. 2 people on board got off. It sank the next day.

Just horrible, we watched a plume of black smoke erupt into the air about a month ago from a gas dock. Unfortunately 1 of them didn’t make it.

Although we aren’t a cigarette, we still showed up early to watch them roll in. Then rolled out next to my buddy in his 42 Tiger. Probably the best running I’ve ever been a part of. Can’t wait until next year!

The wife is sold on us having a boat of our own. We both grew up in the water with summer homes on the cape. We’ll use it as a tender to my dads convertible and to run around the cape, islands and Narraganset bay. I hate the idea of trailering as opposed to a leaving it in a slip but it is what it is.

Something like this would be perfect.

236 mako inboard.

Friend of mine joined the boat club and bought himself a 20 outlaw. Great running boat.

@CobraBob i know I’m way late. This is my first attempt at making a video, feel free to critique! I think there’s to much movement in the pictures, might slow them down.
