    Cool! Looked up a couple of older videos, do you still have enough water. And I see you are still in the 80's up there.

    2023 267 ssx with 350hp b3 has severe bow rise

    If for no other reason, tabs will help to balance and smooth out the ride and do it at lower RPMs

    Sounds like she is heavy aft. Any change if he trims the drive in? A good set of hydraulic tabs will give her a whole new attitude.

    2023 Trip Report: Pictured Rocks, Lake Superior and Washington Island, Lake Michigan

    What helps me to make it work is I am on flat land here, unless I have to go over a bridge. I take off slow kind of like a freight train. I'm in no hurry to get where I am going, If I had already wanted to be there, I would have left earlier. I am kind of the tail wagging the dog, so I go slow...

    2023 Trip Report: Pictured Rocks, Lake Superior and Washington Island, Lake Michigan

    Just remember to leave a lot of room between you and what's in front of you, remember the trailer is not helping you, the boat is pushing you when you apply the brakes. Good luck, be safe out there. Believe me, I know crazy. My girl's 1st tow vehicle was a1985 Buick Rivera, then 1994 Chevy S-10...

    Tie ups vs wake boats?

    Actually you come across as being quite calm about it all. LOL True boaters and Yachtsmen are becoming a thing of the past. All structure is gone there are no more perimeters or boundaries to heed. If I had to put up with half of the crap that a lot you guys do, the marriage between me and my...

    Thanks, The great Lakes are my sanctuary. Don't wait, do it before you tow again. You have a heavy package back there, and you will not be able to make an emergency stop.

    Finally got to see your adventure. What a memorable trip you guys had, thank you so much for sharing it with us. The Lake Superior area is by far the most diverse of all the Great Lakes. The Canadian side is so untouched, and is truly God's country. The only way to experience what it is all...

    Tie ups vs wake boats?

    A friend of mine was traveling down The Sandusky River in his 20 ft. Whaler and the wake hit him by surprise, he said it was like hitting a brick wall, he could not believe how big it was, on a boat no bigger then his. The thing about them, is they have to have calm water to be able to do it.

    Disturbing vibration / noise at idle speed on 2004 Penta (GM) 4.3 V6 I/O in my 190 SSI…

    After researching the net, I think that you need a good mechanic personally there to check it out. There are too many variables to consider. warn gears, timing chain, bad spark plugs, low oil pressure, lifters. How many hours are on your engine, and how hard do you run it? Engine Knocking At...

    Does the tempo get faster as you increase rpms, or does it go away?

    Is it just a tapping noise, or an actual vibration? When I first got my girl I had a flapper go bad. It did not sound that intense, it was more like a marble rattling in a metal can.
