High Five Prop
 

Hey Gofast-
Actually think it is a QST 5, supposedly an equivalent to the High Five. Initialy I could not hold 18 mph wakeboard speed. Now after updating the ETEC throttle lever, adding TFextreme cables, PerfectPass speed control and the High Five can hold +/- 0.5 mph while wakeboarding. Many consider PerfectPass (mostly on high end inboards). THE MARRIAGE SAVER!

Picked up a new (to me) bracket yesterday. Dropped it off at the blasting/powder coating shop today. It should look like new when I get it back adn I will have less in it than I sold the previous one for :)

Went to a marine flea market yesterday and scored a brand new leaning post. Did not need it but could not pass it up for jus $200.

Turns out it fits the boat better than the other one! It is about 6" narrower and does not have the rod holders so it will be much easier to get around in the boat. Time to sell the old one...

Damn, was there another one available? That’s Stupid cheap, and exactly what I have in my head for the fabricator. Almost a grand all said and done.

Vezo.

Mike, check out Marine connection Liquidators in Fort Pierce.

I know, that's why I jumped on it! If there were two, I would have bought both. Already sold my old one for a few bucks more than I paid for this one so a real win in my book!

Got the bracket back from powder coaters' and it looks great!! Hard to believe it is the same piece :D

One step forward, two steps back - The mechanic took a good look at the E-Tec and said I am better off finding another motor :(

It has good compression but the fuel system is messed up from sitting, there is an exhaust leak at the base probably due to a bad trim & tilt assembly, the lower unit had water in it, and there were multiple overheats when he scanned it. It has about 1100 hours on it. Guess I will list it for sale as a parts motor and hopefully get my money back out of it.

What about an older Yamaha F115? Found one with low hours (400) with good compression for a pretty good price. Is this strong enough given the extra weight of a 4-stroke?

Buddy of mines had one on his forever... Does everything asked of it although shes no speed demon
