[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 385053, member: 15462"] AAR: Overall, the day was great. Momma had to stay home - not feeling well so Emma and I tore it up. Odd but I had trouble starting the engine, when in the driveway it typically starts on the second pull. It smelled like it was flooded. Took me a good 15 and almost pulling my arm out of socket when I finally got a sputter, then a start. I was seriously about to put it back on the trailer and call it quits. Started with one-pull the rest of the day. Thoughts on the hard start in the AM??? As this is the first time I have even mounted the motor on the boat I see that I will need to raise it up a bit since the skag plate is lower than the hull by about 1.5-2". I still think I was running a good 18-20 MPH however, to my daughter's delight. We did have to cut the day a little short because it seems I blew the rubber hub on my prop. I was able to limp in to the ramp on 1/3rd throttle. Overall, a very successful maiden voyage. We had a good long day on Lake Conroe, and a super happy little girl. :D [ATTACH type="full" alt="Emma-Boat.jpg"]74764._xfImport[/ATTACH] CMOS [/QUOTE]
