I used sea-tow once so far…because I forgot to fill my 2-stroke oil tank about 10 miles from the marina. They were super helpful and was never charged because it came with my insurance policy. That being said - after that happened I re-read my policy and it only covered a few miles. I purchased...

What I decided is to replace the thermostats, impeller, spark plugs, and poppet valve. Then check coolant passages for buildup causing the overheating concern at higher rpm. If everything checks out internally I can gain about 25hp from replacing the heads and carbon fiber reeds from Hydrotech...

This spring I plan on replacing the thermostats and removing the heads to clean out the coolant passages and check the internals. Last year it would trip the overheating alarm if pushed over 4400rpm so I‘m thinking the passages are scaled or a thermostat not opening fully. I also need to...

The thing is - the boat was a gift from my father when he upgraded to a bigger boat. So other than upgrading the electronics there is practically zero cost put into the boat. That being said, even if I re-power and the required upgrade to the throttle, guauges, bracket, etc I still walk away...

Thats about where I thought it would be as far as price wise. Now to convince the wife that we need to start budgeting 30k to put into a 30 year boat Haha. Still not completely set on a Yamaha but man, that armstrong bracket would make a huge difference compared to the folding transom that I...

This is exactly what I would like to do with the armstrong bracket. If you don‘t mind, what was the end cost for it all?

Doing the work myself so the cost will be low. Man, id love for it to go 40mph at cruising speed. That would cut my ride to the fishing in half.

I was actually looking into Suzuki for the reasons you listed. Seems like a good choice. Boat handles well now. Cruising speed is about 25mph at 4200rpm fully loaded with passengers. 28mph if it’s just my wife and I and push it to 4400rpm. Drinks 2-stroke oil like a champ and started to...

Looking for options what what everyone re-powers with. I have 94‘ Seafarer 226 with the original Yamaha 200hp 2-stroke.
