that's a really cool setup with the stick steering. it must be a lot of fun to pilot that boat. i don't see the starting battery, where is it?cmatthews_jm said:well I think to get the boat up on plane would take several things, including the previous suggestions. First order of business would be to replace the gas line/ball and clean the carburetor. Then, once the motor is running, take it out to a lake and run it for a bit. Thirdly, this boat is severely imbalanced, (ie. the battery needs to be replaced and moved to the front of the bench seat in front of the motor or at least somewhere else and the gas tank probably needs to be moved as well). The trolling motor battery probably needs to be moved too since it weighs about 70lbs or so. There is just a lot of weight in the back end but it does help that the boat is stick steer from the center. Any suggestions with all that said?
The battery is behind the rear bench seat, sorry I didn't post that picture earlier.acabtp said:that's a really cool setup with the stick steering. it must be a lot of fun to pilot that boat. i don't see the starting battery, where is it?
