[QUOTE="thenextlevel, post: 353514, member: 14305"] First post here. Been beating my head against the wall for two months with boat. This may be a long read, I appreciate any advice anyone can give me. I bought this boat from a private seller. It has a inboard 2 stroke 800cc engine out of a wetbike (older jetski). When I bought the boat it started and ran (wouldn't idle). After about an hour of running the boat would lose LOTS of power and cut out. I thought the carbs needed to be cleaned so I took it to the local marina. Turns out one of the pistons let go and pretty much ruined one of the cylinders. The place I have it at can't find parts for the motor and are very hesitant about replacing it with another motor because of the mounting points and the fact that it is sorta a custom build. I have called every marina near me, I called Cotown (legend SS boats), and rockproofboats.com to see if they could help me get it fixed and they all said they couldn't take on the job. SO my question is does anyone on here have any advice for me? I don't want to spend a fortune to fix this thing, but it's pretty much worthless without a functioning engine. All advice is greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
