Nice run. Thks for the pics. Glad you decided to keep your boat. :D

Maybe one of the aluminum carports. They are open on all sides but you can hang tarps. Otherwise shrink wrap is about the only thing I know of to really protect a boat stored outside.

So so sorry to hear this. That you would even consider this shocks me. An I know nothing on the subject so I searched on donating a car to charity and found this turbo tax link. I'm assuming donating a car or boat to charity would work the same. Good luck...

Similar weather here. Highs in the 60's. Not what we call boating weather. Hoping for a touch of Indian Summer before I have to winterize. Chances for that are not looking real good at this point.

That's a strange one. Glad you found it now, at the end of the season.

Slimy Grimy is a product I've used to clean the bottom after an extended stay in the water. Works great. Strong stuff.

This unique gathering of four antique Chris Craft Barrelbacks took place at the 2015 Antique and Classic Boat Show. Grand Rouge is a 16-foot 1939 Chris Craft Racing Runabout owned by Tom and Kris Basset of Wenatchee, Wash., Killer is a 19-foot 1942 Chris Craft Custom Runabout owned by Steve...

I wrote an requested they let me merge there database here on net boat talk. It would have saved all that data. No reply from them. If anyone has a contact or pull there if you can getva copy of the DB we could merge the two.

Wow. That is extreme. I've seen it where they might idle up a bit for 5 seconds then go back to normal. 5 minutes is crazy. and if you rev it up it still settles at 2k rather than where it should? Just trying to understand the issue. Right now I have no clue on what to do to stop this...

You say after a while it comes back down to normal. About how long is awhile?

What does your temp gauge show? If you have an infrared heat sensor you could verify the temp gauge and check temps on other areas of your motor. Seems like the engine is trying to cool down.

Did you top off the tank and add sea foam?

Guess it's not a dumb question since nobody knows, including me. But I wanted to welcome you to net boat talk. Hoping someone will come around that does know the answer. Many of us were boating all weekend so there is hope since many have not seen the question yet.

That is truly strange. I've never seen anything like that.

I just checked. Last he was here was Dec 2022. My how time flies. I only know him from here. Sorry no help.

Twin engines and you topped out at 13 mph? Couldn't even plain off. What was the rpm when that happened? Did you leave the throttle open and then it straightend up or did you stop and go over and over till it ran right? Sounds like something got in your gas. Maybe add some seafoam to...

Awesome. Good pic. Makes it look HUGE. :D

Safety course is an excellent idea. So is a 4 blade prop. But no rush on that if your 3 blade is working fine. I prefer stainless props but they can sure get expensive.

My daughter and son in law are looking to upgrade from their 95 four winns 200 horizen. So we've all been looking at used boats. New boats are out of the question. As are nearly new ones. But you can find a 15 or 20 year old boat with low hours that has been taken care of. Many owned by...
