[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 407175, member: 16014"] OK so after some astute advice from Pappy, I got the motor running smooth again, but I swear if it's not one thing with this boat it's another... Progress has been made though...I actually managed to get the boat IN the water this time, had to promptly pull it back out and let the water drain out, then close the drain plug, and put it back in the water. Once the plug was in it low and behold...IT FLOATS!!! I pumped up the tank, pulled the choke, pulled the cord, engine fired and started moving...like a goober I forgot to check and see that it was in neutral so I started in gear and drove down the dock while I was tied to it. Shut it down, and fired it up again (in neutral this time) and found it struggling to stay lit. It died again and when I tried to start it up the string pulled but the motor wouldn't turn... That was the end of day two on the lake. One of these days I'll actually take it out on the water...I HOPE! [/QUOTE]
