[QUOTE="TOY BOAT, post: 283661, member: 6910"] I had to replace the water pump with a kit, and found the copper pickup tube was cracked. I cut out the bad section, and soldered a new section of copper 1/2" "M" tubing. Now she pumps like new. And adjusted the throttle cable. So Sunday is the big day. I am going to find out how fast a 500lb hull, and 265lb motor cam be moved with 75hp. I am 160lbs. So with fuel, gear and me I still should be under 1000lbs. I am thinking 40-50 mph with just me in it. [/QUOTE]
