Nothing worse then engine trouble... especially after all that work. The swim platform makes a great work surface but I'd rather use it for swimming.
After I redid my 23sf the Yamaha 250 carb engine started giving me trouble...I took it to several mechanics and none of them could fix it so sold it to one of our members as a parts motor...then bought a Suzuki 250 4 stroke which made me happy again.
