Got this one all ironed out. She ran 30 mph today across the lake. Few more trial runs and we’ll be ready for some big water trips on the Great Lakes.

Thanks! So upon further investigation, it’s water in the fuel. Plan is to put her in the slings and tip it back and pump the water out. Fuel seems ok aside from that. She ran 30 mph on the test run. I’m happy with that!

Replaced both starters and raw water pumps. Replaced spark plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor, changed engine oil, repacked both shaft seals and rebuilt both carbs. Took her out for the first trip this weekend and discovered what seems to be the carbs loading up with fuel after excessive idle...

Just heard back, mechanic was mistaken. They are 351’s lol. Spent a lot of hours last night wondering where I went wrong.

We got both engines turning over and discovered it’ll need 2 starters. They turn over but only with a lot of persuasion. Looks like it’ll be another month or so before we can get it to the water to see how it really goes. one thing I am very confused about, the two engines that are in it are...

I’ll be up at the barn tomorrow hopefully. It’s been a long winter here in northern Michigan. My plan is: Change oil in both motors Drain gas from both tanks Put gas in both tanks New spark plugs Then try to start the motors and go from there. I found a local artist to hand paint her new name...

I took them from my phone, and they were too large to upload. Here are a few photos. I need to sand down the step down into the cabin, the folding door that closes there hangs up on the bottom board. I might try to just oil it first and see if it lays back down with a little oil.

Barn find! I picked up a 1976 Weekender 300 out of one of the barns at a marina. Boat has always been maintained by the marina, had a pair of new motors and transmissions put in then sat for 7 years. The boat is winterized and cribbed, so I won’t be really playing until next year, but so far I...

Northern Michigan. The new one will be kept in Cheboygan close to Lake Huron. My Bayliner is currently kept inland. It’s been fun going through the boat so far. This weekend we cleaned the name off of the back and discovered a hailing port of what looks like Sager Key but google turns up...

Found the breaker on the engine. All good.

I’m new to SeaRay and new to this large of a boat in terms of my own, but I did spend a couple years as a marine tech installing electronics though. I have resided and custom built an instrument panel for my Bayliner. Anyway, I picked up a 1976 Sea Ray Weekender 300 in a barn. It’s winterized...
