    extra weight?

    will I see a big difference in extra weight from 2 stroke to 4 strokes on a 27' sailfish? Update, the new motors work very well, and don't even feel any difference in the weight. But what I did notices was the fuel usage it's about half . Very happy with the upgrade. money well spent.

    Live well Standpipe 1998 272 sailfish

    I don't use the livewell , I found that a sawed off plastic barrow works better, the round seem to keep the bait live longer they swim round and round. Just my 2 cents.

    272 Sailfish

    when my boat had that trouble, it was only one motor and it was the a fuel issue , i pumped the primer ball and rpms stayed , so I changed the fuel filter, fuel pumps and fixed the fuel lines sharp turns. I would start there and see if you get the same response that I did.
