New engine under 40 hours


Pin hole in manifold...blah blah blah
end result, blown number 1 cylinder

bad news was HE only had the boat 5 hours when it happened.



Not to be anal about this, but how did the boat have 130 hours on it if the
original engine croaked after 5 hours?

second owner. Boat had 80 something hrs on when he bought it.

Point is....How's the Boat (power train), underpowered? does it plane
well? Any known problems with the boat? Does the arch blow off at 30
knots?
Any history here that me being a noob here would not be aware of? Yes,
we'll use the boat on freshwater for evenings and weekend pleasure.

A little underpowered in my opinion for a heavy 26 footer. I have sea
trialed SeaRay 26s with the same engine and they are underpowered. We
presently have a heavy 24 with the same engine, older version. It
cruises at 23 to 24 kts which is adequate but no speed demon.
