New owner of an 04 185 Sport with the Merc 4.3l with 300hrs.
New to boat ownership, but not new to boating. My gpa had an older Stamas fishing boat when I was growing up (I was too young to remember the model).
Bought it a few weeks ago with 'issues' it would die out at idle and wouldn't go above 2500 rpm. Bought it knowing the carb needed rebuilding. Got the carb rebuilt and the float was bad. Runs great now. Second mod was buying all the required polished to restore/remove the oxidation. Just ordered some Smart Tabs to install!
