Just bought the boat. Ran it 67mph on the Potomac river the day after I bought it. Just have one real issue with it. Engine dies when shifting into reverse. I hope I can fix this soon. I look forward to the info i get off this site.
 
welcome. if it is an I/O it may have an ignition kill. it kills the ignition when putting the boat into gear. may want to look into it. usually it does it forward and reverse but never know.
 
:welcome:. Look into your shift interrupt switch and idle of the boat. Oh,we want pics.. What motor is in it? And what prop?. Just curious.
 
Welcome from a fellow Senator owner. Where do you reside that has you boating on the Potomac River?
 
I live in colonial beach virginia. got the potomac in my window.

Also i have no idea how to post pics. id love to post pics but have no idea.

The motor is a Vortec 350 with a nice cam, high rise aluminum intake and thru hull exhaust. Banging stereo with 2 12in subs 4 component speakers. Its a fun boat.
 
:welcome:

Posting pics is easy. Start a free photobucket account, load your pics there, open the folder that has the pics you want to post, when you move your mouse over a pic you will see four address codes, click on the bottom (IMG code) to copy the address. Then all you need to do is paste it in your thread in the reply box.
 
Looks like the boat has had some upgrades on the dash. Looks nice, that's a great area your in enjoy he new boat!
