Yes, the Voyager was sold with twin 115's or 150's. A Voyager with twin 150 hpdi's has to run like a scalded dog!

Wow. Miss a day and miss a lot! Half Hitch, sorry to ruffle your feathers. Obviously you took my comment negatively and that was not my intent for you or anyone, hence the :) . The point I was trying to make is that there are a lot of variables that could be considered for this topic. So far we...

FWIW, I know a guy who tows a 270 on a tandem axle Continental all over Florida with a bone stock Tundra of the same vintage as yours. If the trailer is set up right, your truck can get it done - at least in the flatter parts of the world.

JJF, you probably aren't the tight-wad I am, but Techron marine will accomplish the same thing with only one product and at least half the cost. Stabil marine 360 in the gallon makes the same claims for around $60 and you will have more left over for next season. The gallon treats 1200 gallons...

Depends on who you talk to. The previous owner of my boat used e0 and thought additives were BS especially because he turned over the fuel regularly - his opinion. My fuel tank was shellacked with varnish. We only have e10 around here. E10 dissolved the varnish and plugged my filters. The e0...

Yes, he is at 5200 rpm, but the prop isn't biting. With my previous set up I could be at 28 mph at 4k rpm or 28 mph at 4700 rpm depending on how the engine was trimmed. The overload condition and possibly other factors are causing slip, ventilation, cavitation, traction loss, or whatever you...

I read the other post. I can tell you with 100% certainty that 50% of the problem is your prop and 50% of the problem is your engine. Change one or the other and your problem goes away. The smart option is to buy a spare prop of the same type and size but 2-3 pitches lower and only use it when...

You're a long time owner of several GW boats at the old age of 22? If I'm reading that right, there is hope for the future! I owned the predecessor to the 258. I will say the one you have posted looks bare bones, but there is a lot to love about a functional, easy to own boat. My 248 was...

There are a lot of variables that can lead to or eliminate issues. Do we want to get into all of those details, or do we just tell the gentleman to spend the extra $0.10/gallon to avoid headaches? For me, I've got better things to do. :)

Follow the instructions on the bottle for the minimum amount. You initially add it to your total on board fuel, then add more each fill up.

If you really like to save money in the short term, by all means don't use it. However 1-5 years from now, you will wish you had. Why? If you are running non ethanol gas, you will get varnish in your tank and will start to get fuel related issues with your engines like poor idling, carbon build...

The weight is insignificant. The bigger issue is the force created from an engine with that much power mounted in the center. Considering the hull is rated for 500hp, I doubt it will be an issue. There was a member here that did an extensive build on a 2002 270 - similar hull as yours. Search...

The ox66 225-250's weren't too bad on fuel at cruise speeds if they were set up and running right. Everywhere else wasn't so hot though.

Since you didn't want to leave that door closed I'll provide a summary for you: When you order engines there are three main things they ask: what horsepower, what shaft length, what color. I answered all of those. The part that you overlooked is that when I ordered my engines white ones were not...

I posted most of the drama over at THT. I really don't want to get into it again. If it was a simple, straightforward repower and the engines were in stock, I'd say go ahead and use the guy I went with. Considering what the OP is asking for, I would definitely go elsewhere.

I struggled to find a good Suzuki dealer on the Great lakes. Unfortunately I would not recommend the dealer that I used. However, there is another dealer that I would consider. He carries Mercury, Yamaha, Tohatsu, and Honda. For your boat I would consider the Hondas or Tohatsu's. Dubbert's out...

Great job on the upgrade! Looks like you used some of the same carbon fiber look panel that I used. Now you have to replace the center cap on your steering wheel with the new stainless version! ;) If you use a sealant and your luck is like mine, some guy named Murphy is going to show up within...

Considering my experience with that hull and the AP gearcase, I would leave the engine where it is mounted and find a Mercury Eco Enertia prop. They are magic. Pricey, but amazing. Ken might have one or go used.

What works for a Yamaha may not work for the Suzuki. At some point I was considering repowering the 248 with a Suzuki. I had talked to Outboard Specialties and the person I spoke with had recently been involved with a 248 repower. They claimed to have "done a couple." At the time they kept...

If you don't get an answer, try posting on the Outboard Specialties section of the THT. I know they have done a couple Voyagers and might be able to tell you how to set it up.
