[QUOTE="Succotash, post: 314754, member: 11447"] I appreciate the responses everyone, I took the boat out again today to check for loss of spark. To my surprise, the boat ran flawlessly! This is crazy, it went from being near impossible to run on the lake, to running 19mph (GPS) with a partner, 4 rod and reels, tackle, battery, trolling motor, and misc. other crap. I cruised around the lake for probably 45 minutes. The engine idled well and had nice, crisp throttle response. The only deficiency was while attempting a full throttle launch from a dead stop. When I try, she bogs down. However, if I gradually accelerate for a few seconds, then punch it, she takes off pretty quickly. So as long as i dont "slam" the throttle from a stop, it accelerates just fine. (I'm sure this is just a low speed needle issue.) Other than the full throttle digs, the engine ran great. I figure 19mph is pretty good for a 15hp on a 1436 with a deck and two people. I'll GPS it by myself in a few days when I get my trim adjusted properly for boating alone. [/QUOTE]
