Tough decision but listing our speedster for sale. This boat is a unicorn. Almost perfect condition with just 75+/- hours on the motors. This is probably the most fun boat we’ve owned, from 15’ jets to our 38’ Donzi. Extremely quick, maneuverable, yet very versatile with a good amount of room...

I thought the 155hp motors were naturally aspirated?

Just throwing this out there to see if anyone is thinking of selling this coming spring. 510hp, preferably 2012. Thanks

I need some help. Before I took ownership of this boat some one was messing around with the wiring to the gauges. The part I can't figure out is there's a Bosch relay in there with a male connector and a female and I do t know where this hooks up to. Is it part of the fuel gauge circuit? If...

fuel pickup fix One of the breather tubes on the fuel pickup busted off so instead of buying a pricey new fuel pickup i came up with this fix. I picked up a 1/4" barbed fitting from the hardware store, drilled the hole in the pickup a little bigger to accomodate fitting and pressed it...

update Well a lot has been done since the last update. New house, baby, and the almost never ending wisconsin winter made it hard to get things done on this project. But as it sits now the motor is in it and its almost ready to fire up. I dont have many pictures but i'll post a couple of how...

The mercury motors only have a "bad rap" with people who have no or little experience with them. If you have a couple of minutes to flush the motor out with a garden hose when you get back from a day out on the water then salt water will cause you no problems. Even if you don't flush it out...

Old crank gear driven pump motor New style pump motor As easy as looking at the flywheel cover

Cant help you with the pump, but the hydroturf looks awesome!

Hot boat! Your motor does use the crankshaft gear that drives the oil pump that is prone to failure. What happens is theres a plastic gear on the crankshaft that spins the oil pump, and this gear becomes stripped for whatever reason (high temp, prolonged high revs, who knows) resulting in the...

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal! The one thing you need to check out on the motor tho is if the oil injection has been replaced/defeated. Do you mix the gas and oil? Being a 2002, you may have the newer motor that isnt prone to the deadly oil injection gear failure, but otherwise when...

The gear ratio that came with the 250 pump is slightly "taller" if that makes sense. I cant remember the exact numbers but the 250 is closer to a 1:1 ratio than the other motors. the 250 has the torque to get out of the hole just as quick without the shorter ratio. If the 250 had the same...

How tight of a clearance does that give you? Just curious to see if they make it tighter than the original wear ring. Impros do it for you?

Thanks. I had a friend measure his and his is 24-3/16, so I think that's where my problem is. Thanks for the help doc!
