    you could try putting a couple bottles of sea foam fuel system cleaner in the fuel and premium gas and run that thru too. seafoam is known as a tune up in a can. maybe theres some crap built up in the carb

    Dry Dock or Wet Slip? What would you do?

    a friend of mine keeps his boat in the chicago river all year, the marina he is at is under some condo buildings and they have a bubbler system so it doesnt freeze in the harbor area. when it is really cold he has a small electric space heater he puts in the bilge and he uses elcetric heaters to...

    who makes a better boat cobalt or sea ray ?

    i have always been the one in the marina to go out no matter what the weather/water conditions are.... i have been out in beautiful conditions more than bad conditions but i have also been out with my last boat in 15's on lake michigan with fog so thick one couldnt see his nose. if things got...

    who makes a better boat cobalt or sea ray ?

    here is a picture if it posts of my sundancer on its trailer waiting for me to pick it up from the marina last a week ago tuesday. it is a really clean 89 just wish i could make it considerably faster like closer to 60 + mph instead of high 30's or low 40's. its more exciting going airborne and...

    who makes a better boat cobalt or sea ray ?

    a friend of mine seems to think the sundancer is fast enough at 34 mph. he claims i should be concerned about handleing and stability more than top end. i have always been more concerned about performance than any thing else including safety and security. nothing anyone can do in the event of a...

    who makes a better boat cobalt or sea ray ?

    i just got a crazy idea... maybe this winter pull out the 5.7 350 and put in a 496 in the 250 sundancer. i wonder just how much of a pain that would be.

    who makes a better boat cobalt or sea ray ?

    i just found out why the dealer wants to trade boats.... this 2009 cobalt was a special order one where the buyer insisted on a 496 mag which cobalt does not usually put into the 222 as it really wasnt designed for it and no one that comes in wants to buy it. still doesnt discourage me from...

    who makes a better boat cobalt or sea ray ?

    the reason i bought the sundancer is i have always wanted a cruiser. and i plan on going on lake michigan if not this season, next season for sure. however having the newest boat in the marina woldnt be too bad either and the idea of not ever having to work on it is quite appealing too, even...
