I've run 4.8x12 on a several small boats over the years and never had an issue it's a pretty common size on small trailers.

Yes they do I've seen some a little shorter some a little longer. My current boat is 6" longer than "model number"

1236, 1432, 1648...first 2 numbers are the length and the second 2 numbers and the bottom width.

It does sound like a fuel starvation issue. What's the cost of Injectors vs sending them out to get bench tested? Not even sure if bench testing is a thing with outboard Injectors .

If that's only a 1500lb axle it's sitting on I doubt its the trailer that came with the boat. A quick search pulled up 1klb hull weight. That only leaves 500lbs for motor,gear, fuel, batteries, and the trailer itself. If you keep and modify the trailer to fit the boat I'd suggest an axle...

I purchased a 20hp tohatsu through onlineoutboards.com . It arrived quickly at a local fed ex terminal where I then picked it up. Easy as could be

Just seen our first wake boat of the year quite certain its someone who lives on this stretch of river as I'm pretty far from the dam. Was the last thing I expected to see round the bend as it's only 5 ft deep this far up today and the water is up about 2ft from the rains over the weekend.

Welcome aboard...I lived outside San Antonio for a few years and fished Canyon Lake a bit. I would keep the 15hp even on a 1k acre lake if the fish aren't biting at the dam and you decide to head to the other end of the lake the 15 will get you there 4x+ faster and burn very little fuel doing it.

Nice boat! That's going to be a very nice rig once you get it all sorted. If it was stored properly it may not take much at all to get going. I would check to make sure bugs/vermin haven't made a nest in any small passages and see if she fires on fresh mix.

The jetski and pleasure boat crowd doesn't get going here untill memorial day. I have only seen 2 other boats all year both were fishing but I haven't gone on a weekend yet

Fresh coat of wax ...maybe now it will do 60 lol. In all seriousness it took me over an hr just to get the scum line off from our first couple trips this year with the high flood waters. Been waiting for a nice warm day to give it a coat nothing special just spray on wax but it will clean up a...

Stocking up on bait and making sure everything is ready to go once mother nature gets ahold of herself. Been getting less salamanders and more crayfish in our traps.

20mph is moving with a 9.9 in that boat. A tachometer would tell you if and how much you could potentially change prop pitch. You can play around with where you have the trim set to see if that helps the time to plane any.

What size timeusb battery?

NGK stk 5626....I get that when cross referencing ngk buhw2 along with many others from other manufact but in my opinion ngk is the best plug you can buy.
