Your PM is full. I'll take 2 calendars if you have any left. I have a US mailing address.

My radar is still running for a 28. I still have the Blackhawk ( wife loves it) and a couple of others, but trying to thin the fleet so I can justify a new project. Got somethin'??

You're not helping.

I agree 100%. The abuse (and altitude) mine stood up to was amazing. And I would buy it back in an instant once I get rid of some other toys. I've really stressed out a couple of other boats since. Marauders are not normal.....

I do have an extra 454 MPI kicking around. AND a spare Blackhawk drive and props. Maybe convert to a single with high X dimension? Just trying to stay on a budget w parts on hand.

This is bad - I just sold a 35 Bertram I was thinking of re-doing. And somebody wants my Blackhawk. And I sold my STV!! Getting low on boats. And closer to my old Marauder. Gonna go work on the Skater and chill for a while...........

Can't help you there, but I know where my old one is. Buy it before I do!!!!

Injectors out. Not too bad of a job. Plenum and throttle body taken off as one. Injectors came out fairly easy. Hardest part was the spring clips and bending over the rub rail instead of just walking up to an outboard and popping the cowl. Anything else I should be doing while in there? I...

Vapor canister on top, rear of plenum. Don't think it has cool fuel. You're right, I should clean the entire loop. Your advice is appreciated. Just trying to find the time.... Heading there now. Other boat ate my time and $ for a bit. Playing catch up.....

Good advice, the injectors were the 1st thing I looked at when the #6 piston went all melty on the starboard 300X couple of months ago. So I have a good service company lined up. Haven't worked on any of these motors before - can I lift the plenum and throttle body off in 1 assembly? Not at the...

Will do - turns out it was a one boat weekend. Holiday weekend here in BC, combined w wildfires in the interior = lots of boats locally. And no room at the ramp. Got the Skater in on Saturday morning early and left it at a friend's dock. Hope to retrieve it today! I predict mayhem at the ramp...

Thanks! Did a compression test a while back - don't remember the numbers but it was good, and even. I've never done a leakdown on an inboard - only 2 stroke outboards - great care needed! Not looking forward to this learning curve. Going to reset the base timing, check throttle opening, check...

Just had my Donzi out for the second run since I purchased it. Seems a bit limp. The 1st run I had just warmed it up and basically got it on plane to get the fluids moving before I changed them out. Nothing over 30 MPH. Started well, idled well, no overheat, good oil pressure. Not really...

Somebody say spare sister????

Lunch on you? I'll be right back!! Apologies for being rude and rushing off- but we thought United might actually be talking off on time. Turns out we could have stayed another couple of hours. I'll make sure to call you before my next trip. Just got off the plane in Vancouver- long day.
