Sad part about 71s and modern times, Nobody can run them as needed. The Goo you described could be just low rpm slobber. Lack of load and...
It's 1855 eastern. How'd it do?
Time for an oyster roast. 71s rule, rc
Just found your other post on your Post. Great pictures. Was heading back to this post and you already responded. 15 to 17 knots cruise around...
Can you offer a lil more to guess with? What engines and HP? Ratios? I'm guessing 6-71 ti or tib's but guessing.

You can Not idle around 149s. A real machine that was made to run. Generators that ran whole Towns, Dredges, Tugs. When it comes to commit pure...
Some of the best advice you can get. Read it again right before your test ride. So many folks forget why they are shopping for a boat. It's...
Wow. What an adventure. I'm not sure where that (suppose) strike on the crank came from. Was there a previous failure then slapped back together?...
During your survey, I would hope you will have a mechanical survey as well. Since you're paying for it, tell the mechanical surveyor your concerns...

Happy Easter and good prayers to all. Ralph & Josie
