I just purchased this sea ray. I was told the engine is new and upon inspection found to be true. The work was done 3 or 4 years ago and ran a couple times, winterized, and pulled out of the water. Sometime after that someone stole the outdrive. I have the boat now and wanted to hear it run and make sure everything was a go before having my outdrive installed. I indeed started and it started right up it ran bout 40 seconds no longer than 1 minute revved it, turned it off and hit the key again just to reassure everything's a go. I got the gasket kit and a new impeller it to put in my outdrive. He said with me running the boat I could have burned my flaps up in the exhaust. Anyone else run their's any amount of time and burn up the flaps he is talking about? I'm worried about it I have everything ready, fuel tank is full and all my parts are ready to be installed and hit the water. Any information would be great thanks in advance
