[QUOTE="Kevin D, post: 384409, member: 15478"] Well, I had her out on the Seneca River, she floats nice, stable in the water! Everything out of the way so I can fish, I'd say my mods are a success, even fixed the small leak, she's dry as a bone. I think I'm gonna have to get a more powerful motor. The old Eska starts and runs good, but doesn't seem to peak out when it's on the boat. I went through it last winter, (new head gasket, plug, fuel lines and shut off valve, carb kit, gaskets, impeller) it has good compression and when in a barrel of water it peaks out fine. I adjusted it on the boat, but still not peaking like it does in the barrel. must be too much mass and too little horsepower. It gets me there but slowly. I did have fun, even caught a nice northern. :D [/QUOTE]
