challenger 210 engine shuttering

[sammyg101]

I took my boat out today and noticed the engine was really vibrating a lot. Kind of shuttering port to starboard. I could not get the boat above 25mph. On a few occasions, I notice my depth Finder could not read the depth at idle or when I was going above 24mph.

During my last run, I lost coolant and the engine overheated. I haven't found a house leak yet but the engine coolant was on main deck. I'm wondering if the thermostat stuck and the cap burbed.

Is it me or do these challengers really suck.

Thanks, Sam

Ouch..... I think your boat is cursed... How hot do you think it got? Do a leak down test. Head gasket maybe

Look out for Sammyg101 he has this boat for sale on e-bay that add says (The boat is in good mechanical condition but may need a new wear ring for the propeller because it’s vibrating and not getting full speed. It might need a tune up and some love from sitting. Also, I recently replaced the $400 intercooler that gave me headaches) Just tell people the truth!!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Sea-Doo-/131887458639?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
