[QUOTE="swump, post: 261454, member: 7332"] Spent three days on the river with the new engine. I've been through 4 or so gallons of fuel and have almost finished 10 hour break-in. The engine has gotten significantly smoother since as I've gotten deeper into break-in. Engine starts and runs great and vibration has decreased considerably. I would consider that this could be placebo effect (break-in sugar pill) but my fishing partner noticed the change on the third day after taking the middle day off. The engine runs and starts like it should. Electric start is really nice. GPS says we get 20 MPH with 430 lbs of paunchy middle aged guys and a full load of gear and equipment. 23 MPH with half the old guy load. This was also the first extended fishing trip in the 1648 Lowe MV since I rigged her up from a bare hull. I am digging this boat. [/QUOTE]
