Thanks Don, I was so disgusted after the mechanic showed them to me I just hooked up and went home. He ended up sleeving 2 cylinders and replacing 2 air injectors. I have been breaking the motor in,...

He ended up sleeving 2 cylinders and replacing 2 air injectors, under $5000. So far I am very happy. He has a shop at his home in New Tazewell TN. Moved up from South Florida. He treated me fairly ...

Back up.and running. Bought a Vesselview.Mobile. it synced up and imported the motor info but I ran it for 4 hours.today and the hours didn't update. It also.doesn't show temperature. I am not sure...

Took a month but finally got it back. He ended up replacing 2 sleeves and 2 air injectors. All new on the inside. Waiting on a Vessel view mobile to deliver tomorrow before taking it out to start...

When I was thinking of putting a new.motor on. Duck River Marine in Columbia TN had a 200XS torque master for $17,600

I should have took it to C&O in the first place but the other shop was a lot closer and had been treating me fairly. Live and learn. I found a guy in New Tazewell, TN that has everything in his shop...

All they told me they did was clean out the air injector lines. Still looking for places to.take it to get it rebuilt. A new 4 stroke is not happening yet.

Another decision to make. Compressor exploded. I had it replaced with a used one at my Mercury dealer as the new ones were on back order. They said they cleaned out the air lines of debris. Took it...

It is #6 cylinder that is torn up. He said it ran lean. The compressor is brand new. I am wondering what to do next and where to take it to a reputable shop

Thanks

Now I need to make a decision on which way to proceed. Getting this motor repaired, getting a new power head and finding someone competent around my area to do it or biting the bullet on a new 4...

That's what I was thinking but they told me it wasn't possible

I bought this boat in June and after waiting for the hull to be repaired have only put a couple of hours on it.
The compressor exploded running around 4800 rpms. Couldn't find a new one so they...

You may want to get it to a shop with a moisture meter. I was going down the same route as you but some of mine were through the glass. It spent 3 weeks getting the foam dried out after they opened...

Almost back up and running. Turned out a clip holding the wrist pin fell out. He had to order a few small parts and I should get it back early next week.

Optimax oil and they think for some reason the engine tank was low. No alarms and guardian kicked in. The compressor exploded. It wouldn't go into neutral as a piece got into the shift mechanism. I...

I am not planning on keeping the tires on for long. He had put them on to sell the boat.

Not right now. The compressor blew apart on it yesterday. Its back in the shop.

Going to Barkley tomorrow. Got to get it set up and hopefully get some fishing in.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much better the Tempest performs over the 24 Fury. Thanks for the information

He finally got all the gel coat sprayed. Just sanding and polishing left. He ended up grinding both sides the complete length of the main bunks. Blisters on both sides and some other minor damage....

Finally about to get it back. Took 3 weeks to get it dried out so they could get the repairs done.
I picked up an A45 Tempest 25 today.

When they opened it up it was soaked. Spent 3 weeks drying it out so they could get the repair done. Both sides needed to be fixed. Should be finished this week, expensive lesson learned. But I am...

Thank you. I talked to Tri State marine in Gallatin TN today who came highly recommended. He said that the damage from the pictures could be fixed for around $1000. That seems reasonable to me. He's...

Looks like most of the shops are pretty busy. Thinking of tackling it myself. I have done fiberglass many years ago but never on the bottom of a boat. Would marine-tex be able to be used and...

Took it out and ran it the other day. Took a close look afterwards underneath and noticed a few hull blisters and a gouge mostly covered up by the trailer bunks. Guess I was too impressed by the...
