We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions. -

I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout. Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines. -

Question
scalescratcher
Have the above motor and am having some performance issues. The motor will run fine through full range. I'll stop to fish an area and then re-start to move and get sluggish results. It will surge and then run at only 75% of full RPM. If I punch it from idle I'll get some slight sputtering before it opens up. It will run @ 4000 rpm, run up to 5000 and then start to bog again. I've replaced the fuel filter and plugs. Have also checked compression and spark and all appear fine. I ourged all the old gas and re-filled the tank with fresh fuel. It runs fine at full load sometimes but is inconsistent. I plan to get it in to be looked at but could use some insight on possible issues.
