The last time I went out something happened to my engine,it stalled just as I was coming into the cove (shallow)and when I tried to restart I got a grinding noise.I think maybe the water pump seized so I just pulled it out for the winter. 71.8 mph must make you feel like freakin superman! I haven't goten passed 50 on my speedo, and with a 35 gal. tank up front I'm talking trimmed to the max and chine walking all over the place.My son Is a conscientious 14 yr old and yells at me to slow down. But the good news is there's plenty of room for improvement.
