62.3 with 4 people on the boat and 1100 pounds of fuel. Time to put the other prop on the boat and run the fuel out of it. :fuckyeah:

When my Camaro was a bolt on car at 70 it would get 31 MPG. As a H/C car it was at 26 MPG and as a built motor car it gets 24 MPG.

HA, I hate having more than 4 people on the boat The more people you have on the boat the more things get broken and the slower the boat is.

That would be the boat, it rolls...... I was drolling

The only open bows I would ever own would be either a wake board boat or Yamaha/Seadoo jet boat.

a go-fast would be my choice. I've had 6 on mine comfortably.

Is that cat is a dual engined boat? I think that is the boat that pass me when I was doing 65. Baja Hammer is just over 21'

130 is rollin on the water. How big is the cat? What does it look like? Is the baja an outboard?

You have a lot of options in that price range. You will need to figure out what type of boat/boating you want to do. You can pull a tuber with a cruiser or go-fast or jet boat or pontoon. Think about how many people you want to have on the boat and if you are going to sleep on it or not.

Price range?

What is considered quick? What boat where you on?

His son-in-law Tom, took over this season.

I keep my stored in covered storage in Pataskala. It was $250 for in and out storage for the boating season and it's $300 for winter storage. If you find covered storage in New Albany/Westerville/Lewis Center, let me know.

Sounds like it's way over propped.

With the motor off, put the throttle control in WOT position and see if the carb is 100% open. The big linkage should be forward/reverse. Have you changed the plugs or checked timing? or changed the motor oil/gear oil/

Is the carb WOT? If it is then the boat sounds way over propped. Look at the numbers on the prop it will tell you what the pitch is. You should be spinning at least 1000 RPM more. I bet with the right prop that boat will run 40.

Just keep looking I'm sure more will start to pop up.

HAHAHAHA, yeah trim it out and it should pick up speed and rpm.

You probably need a different prop if your motor can only rev to 3300. What pitch prop is on it? That motor should be turning 4600-5000 rpm. I bet your boat would run 40 with the right prop.

Both Sam's and Anthony's red boats were Stingrays. Both were late 80s maybe they can chime in. I believe Stingrays are more on the entry level site of boat manufactures.

For those looking to buy a checkmate. This is a beautiful rig. http://reading.craigslist.org/boa/3826388069.html
