We prefer to call it a "boating problem"-addiction just sounds to negative and problems can always be solved. Just buy another boat!!

Quote I have an addition not to fear you are not terminally unique. I think you speak for many of us. I live in 700 ft with a postage stamp yard there is one boat many engines and if I find some free space there will be more. I have rubbermade deck boxes stacked full of parts and more coming.

Im curious how it compares to the pulsares you have had.I loved our starflite if it had been a bit stronger splashwell and different color id still have it.We will probably end up with a pulsare open bow sooner or later.What has more room between the starflite and pulsare?

I'm going to pull the powerhead and break it down next week (if time allows) and send it off to Diamond Marine to hone the bad cylinder and check out the rest of the block. Then we'll clean the injectors, check the fuel system for any restrictions and put her back together. With the Torque Master gear case the boat should run 80mph all day long. I may even send out the lower unit to Bobs for a nose cone to eek out another few mph...
