I used a product called nu wax (not sure of the spelling) walmart sells it. very easy to apply and brought out a lot of the color that was badly faded. I also have this 88 16ft o/b its a great little boat... enjoy!

Took it to a mechanic and one of cyclinders was missing... and to compensate the previous owner turned one of the idle screws way up. Runs perfect now low rpms at netural and no clunk when engaged in gear

[/attach] Our Boston Terrier Milo, he goes everywhere with us except the boat... he loves shallow water but is very scared of open water.

I also have the clunk sound when going into gear, it can't be good for it. I think it has something to do with the high rpms in neutral. It sounds like we've got the same issue brybaker. keep me posted if you figure anything out.

I have a 1988 seville 100hp o/b motor and the slowest idle speed is 5mph and in neutral revs at 1500rpms... this is way to fast to get in my slip with ease. whats the best way to adjust the idle down. Should i adjust it at the throttle lever or at the motor, which is the easier fix. Thanks

Went out today with the gps and top speed was 35 with 330 pounds on the boat and a full tank of gas.

I have the same boat, only had it out 2 times and max speed was 38-40. next time i go out i'll take the gps to get the exact speed.

Thanks for the tips... compression is good and I just put 15 gallons of fresh fuel in it. I'll check the float this week. thanks again

I just purchased a 1988 sea ray seville 16ft with a 100hp o/b. I took it out for the 1st time the other day and it ran great. Then anchored for a few hours, tried to start it and the battery went dead. Is it possible the choke is stuck now. Put a new battery in it and it will start and idle and...

I just bought the exact boat for $2500... mine is in good condition for the age. This one appears to be mint. I think $4000 is a fair price if nothing is needed to get it on the water. Its a good size boat for only being 16ft and very easy to tow. Good Luck!!!
