    To E-TEC or NOT E-TEC that is the question

    I'll do everyone favor and let you all know what my Crystal ball is showing me: Southeast will troll every boat forum including this one to bash Evinrude or stir the pot until the sane people on the board give up trying to reason with him. Do yourselves right and don't get sucked into...

    Looking for experts! 248 Voyager

    Grady' s aren't like cars. They don't change significantly year to year if at all. I doubt someone who built them could tell you from the 2 pix.

    journey/voyager tow weights

    I don't know what BMT is but I can tell you this: Our Voyager on a heavy-duty steel roller trailer, no water, 30 gallons of fuel, and no hard top, and minimal gear weighs in at 7300. I was told an AL bunk trailer would drop my weight about 500 lbs. Figure twins adds 500 lbs. If you are wondering...

    FAIR PRICE 4 MY GRADY

    My dad sold his salvaged '84 with a '91 POS 200 Evinrude for $7500. Took him a whopping 2 days to sell. The boat was in excellent shape and hard to come by in our neck of the woods. I say start high in mid March and see what heppens. You can always come down but you can't go up!

    225 OX 66 Starter Hesitation

    I know mine doesn't hesitate, but I'm only running a single. I didn't know alarms went off before starting. Are all OX66 225' s supposed to do this?

    explorer or journey

    I don't know that much about the Explorer, but I can tell you this much : The Journey is essentially a Voyager with a full length running bottom and a slightly different aft lay -out. I don't think the Voyager and Journey hulls are different otherwise. I can also tell you the '98 and up hulls...

    Gulfstream v. Journey

    Rather than reinventing the wheel, just insert Journey where you see Voyager : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18836

    Starboard Engine Shakes (OX66 Yamaha SS)

    I wouldn't touch the oil if you have had no issues previously. I have the same engine. Mine misses at low rpm occasionally and I can't find a permanent solution. My engine either has 'gremlin ' that comes and goes, or these engines are simply fickle. A bad low pressure pump can cause the engine...

    Yamaha Ox66 Power Issues Please Help!!

    It's a combination of LP pumps and o2. When LP pumps fail they flood the engine with excess fuel at low rpm fouling the o2. The fouled o2 causes the cpu to defaults to a full rich condition which also sucks enormous amounts of fuel at higher rpms. With one or two bad LP pumps the engine will...

    canyon 306 top speed

    Moving the engine one hole won't give 13 MPH, but if the height is wrong the change will help. If the engine is mounted correctly, don't make a change for the sake of changing. I have another thread on this site regarding engine height and prop cupping. That thread should help you determine if...

    canyon 306 top speed

    Im not running a boat like yours, but this could be related. My top end numbers are good, but compared to the factory test my midrange numbers were poor vs rpm. I had my factory prop cupped and picked-up 5 MPH at 3800 rpm. It also appears my engine is mounted 1 hole too low.

    Voyager vs. Gulfstream

    I love the Gulfstream cabin layout, but went with the Voyager for trailering. Depending on what you use the boat for, the cabin might only be used for the head and storage so the cabin layout might be insignificant. If you plan to play off the boat, the Voyager Euro-transome is a deal maker. I...
