The short season in Alberta just don't make sense to have a lake boat. If I lived in Kelowna, no doubt I'd own a big ass prop job. We boat from the day the ice break to the odd day into December. It ain't warm, but it's boating. No Cops, No Problems.
Happy riggin :cool:

The motor is a 200 Merc. in the last 2 seasons it's blown up 8 times, I think?? I guess the exhaust ports have been perted too much. We keep catching a ring on the exhaust port and breaking the ring then it blows out that cylinder. It runs great for about 8 hours then it's done!! Next season I'll have a new powerhead, actually the motor from flywheel to prop will be brand new!!

Possibly for a race motor, but for a play motor the 200 is perfect. The boat is a 1989 Laser that I just got done restoring. I don't think I would want a 2.5 for an every day motor. I run around with a bunch of Alisons with 2.5's and after seeing what they go through I'll be willing to give up mph for reliability. If I don't end up getting it I'll be sure and spread the word!!!!

whats going on with your friends 2.5's I have found them to be very reliable.I always run very good fuel (avgas from local airport) which is pretty inexpensive compared to say VP fuel or other race fuel. And I have them set up with stock heads, I wouldnt want high comp ss heads..Mine are just for play, not a racer by any means!!!!! wink

The problem with all of my friends 2.5's are that they spin them to the moon and they "pop". I'd be the same way, heat of the monent hammer down!! If you got it why not use it? I've turned down allot of races because of having a smaller motor, people just think I have a big motor because I've got a 2.5 cowl on it. I know me and if I have that "big" motor than I'll use it and make it faster then I'll break it. This is why I'm going back all stock!!

My new one is on order, spring delivery! But, I noticed yours online again, So I was thinking if I was to buy yours/sell the 2.5 off it/rerigg it with a new 300x???????hmmmmmmmmm. I was getting a fill if your 2.5 was marketable....to funny. Any bites at 36K? make me a crazy deal, and I just may forget about the 2003 :D

I HERE YA. I LOVE THE BOAT. BUT YOU KNOW "NEVER FAST ENOUGH." I THINK I CAN SELL THE 2.5 PRETTY EASY. PUT THE 300X ON IT AND IT SHOULD RUN IN THE LOW 90'S. I ALSO THOUGHT OF PUTTING ANOTHER 2.5 ON IT. NOT SURE IF I WANT TO DEAL WITH TWO MOTORS AND THE COST OF INSURANCE. I FIGURE IF I CAN SELL THE 2.5 FOR 8 OR 9 THOUSAND I COULD FORK OUT THE 15K FOR A 300X. 6 GRAND FOR ANOTHER 12-14 MILES PER HOUR. NOT TWO BAD. WHY DON'T YOU JUST BUY ONE WITH TWINS. I SAW ABOUT 4 MACH 22 WITH TWINS THIS WEEKEND IN HAVASU. MY BOATS PRETTY QUICK WITH JUST A SINGLE. I CAN'T IMAGINE IT WITH TWINS.

I SAW ABOUT 4 MACH 22 WITH TWINS THIS WEEKEND IN HAVASU. MY BOATS PRETTY QUICK WITH JUST A SINGLE. I CAN'T IMAGINE IT WITH TWINS.I just dont want to deal with two motors! the whole maintence thing, fuel comsumtion,mixing gas and oil for not only one, but two..no thank you! And like you said the insurance, I hear insurance is a kink even with a single let alone two motors hanging on the back of a tunnel. We also want to ski and wakeboard a little, I think it would be pretty tough with twins. Im really excited about ordering a brandnew boat, But its a ton-o-dough! I have been talking KAB from the boards here, he bought the 22 with twin 300 dragmotors Dave is advertising, That thing is SICK and WRONG. Dont think I need a 125mph boat! SO, When I saw yours online again it got the wheels turning in my head! Hmmmm get it, sell the motor, slap a 300x on it, put all the new kick-ass pewter DCB hardware on, and save a few dollhairs....was just toying with the idea!

I own a houseboat on Shasta thats why I am always there. My shop is in the Bay Area. The new boat is great thanks again for the lead. What and When are you getting your boat?

I got in it for the first time since it was taken on tuesday myself.... at first I was choked up, then pissed..... no Respect... then I saw Oil fingerprints and got pissed at the Elsinore PD....the night I was notified they had recovered the boat I asked about prints..... they deputy said that since it was found in a dusty, dirt lot the chance of getting a good print was minimal......I dunno just pissed me off big-time.... apparently the detective assigned to my case is doing some work and following up the lead on the truck that had my motor in it.....she was picking up credit card reciepts from the gas station they were filling up at... could be promising.... who knows for sure....

However, up until I went out of town things were going well. I still squirt starting fluid in it on the ramp when it is cold. I think I was holding the throttle down too far when I was having all those problems. Now I just barely hold it down to a advance the timing slightly and it seems to be okay! I am still thinking about FI though. Just not sure I want to fork out the bucks for it! It sure would be nice to just be able to turn the key though and not worry about starting fluid, battery drainage, etc.!
