Cheap bad idea

[FishStretcher]

I cleaned the carbs and it idles fine and runs ok. Needs a sync. Kinda boggy. Might go up a jet size.

Motor has good compression and is timed right and it seems I am close to having it run decently. Right now it bogs coming out of the hole. Yours do that?

I up sized the jets my motorbike and I like the throttle response on that. About 10% worse economy. A little over-fueled when it is hot out.

Oh yeah, that's a 20 foot master angler, not a 23. The pic angle makes it look big.

Fish:
The only issue ive had with the F100 is gummed up carbs. If you dont drain the carbs when its winterized you will need to break them down and clean them. I never let gas sit in them for more then a month without being ran. As long as i drain the carbs at the end of the season it will start up first crank in the spring. It has been a great motor and never left me stranded.

The only other issue is i had a voltage regulator go bad on it. Not bad for a 12 year old motor. Besides the voltage regulator only plugs, oil, gear oil, and the occasional water pump.

The prop on it is a aluminum yamaha prop. Its 17 pitch and i believe the diameter is 13.25"

For only 100hp on a decent size 23' boat in happy with the performance. Even if i run it around 5000rpms ill get close to 5mpg.

The sea ox i have is the 2300 commercial so its probly got a lot less weight then the 23 in your picture. The only weight is a small wooden cabin in the front and lots of waterlogged wood.



my uncle also has a seaox 2300 (same year as mine) and he put a small center console on it. With a F150 i would guess his goes upper 30's.
