Liz. Ignore my PM asking where you are from…I’m only used to seeing Rick’s screen name. LOL
I guess the tarpon pic should have gave it away. You can try Justin Swan in Irmo 600-9305.

Funny … you never post, but you made this topic … LOLOL
Here’s the deal with the (**() boat … It’ll idle/troll just fine … it’ll go on plane just fine … once on plane it starts to lose power … I can back off the throttle and then throttle it up and it’ll reach top speed (50) again only to slowly drop back down to under 20 … I put the motor into neutral and then throttle back up just fine … but no matter what I do it loses power …
The boat ran perfectly until I had a fuel fitting corrode/break off at the fuel tank … I changed the fitting, filled the tank … boat now runs like complete crap …
I’ve changed the oil (yeah, I know - means nothing), I replaced all of the fuel line to the motor and the primer bulb, I replaced all three fuel filters, and I drained the gas tank completely and put in Ethanol free gas …
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
it’s my Wife’s fault we HAVE to fish now!!!

I would highly recommend Tom Hughes in West Columbia. He’s probably the best in town.
