3750 RPM - Bravo II drive (big wheel) 24 - 27 MPH at 11.8 - 13.8 GPH depending on fuel, water, people on board, etc., etc. Engine gettting built up and chomping at the bit to get her back.
And again, the Forum saves me money. I guess in the next tear down, I'll just get a new Sea Core or rebuild engine from Jasper or something to that effect. Thanks guys!
Cape Cod: That's why I was thinking I would do this via Sea Ray. If there is a issue post repair, I am HOPING that they will standby their work. The shop in town here has a pretty good reputation. I will update one last time after I get her back possibly this week.
Ocean: I definitely do. I use the salt away product as well. I am going to add draining the cooling loop as well.
Lets see what happens after the fresh water cooling system is installed.
I am so sorry this is happening to you. I too have had minor problems, but just run of the mill. Most things I could fix myself. I agree with JV II on the impellar issues. My boat is an 05, purchased in 08 with 30 min on her. First thing out the chute, impellars. Gen and drive. Thinking cause it...

My 3 cents, take the warrantied boat...unless you can get the same warranty thrown into the deal on the fresh. Main concern is warranty. I am about to drop $1500 - $3000 for a engine problem. I had a year and then extended another year and now i am out. Warraties are a low cost item for any big...

Opened the engine hatch and there...
Or you may choke while laughing your ass off at me.
I again will swallow my pride and share my most latest blunder in hopes others will not have to enjoy my morning. This is a true story that just finished up only 30 min. ago. Again, i am admitting to this. You can never get too comfortable...
