Look what followed me home from work today

Just got my boat back from the mechanic. She runs in the mid 80s now and rides like a dream!!!!

What did he change?

As a kid a family friend in Florida had one & we rode in it once. 80ish mph is crazy in a boat like that.

Motor was running very poorly. Full pump was undersized, fuel line was slightly clogged, hot foot wasn’t opening the throttle all the way. He also rebuilt the carbs, replaced the stator assembly and tuned it up. Just got it dialed in and “running like it’s supposed to run” he said. “I think you’ll like it, it’s got some thump now” he said with a grin.
He was not kidding!!!

He also re worked the prop and the skeg and got all that tuned up. Boat jumps up on plane now and rides like a dream. At 50 it’s not even trying. Frankly I will spend most of my time cruising in that 45-55 rang. But having all that power on standby is very nice!!
