Those Whalers were pretty tightly built and a lot less complex. Plus they had scupper holes so water did not necessarily collect in the bilge. Kinda like my Key West 1720. Water never sloshes...

Great job, no really, it's a great job to have!

We do a backup of the site every AM. Can't remember exactly when but that is likely the issue.

Yep, no gelcoat means water can make it's way though if it sits on it long enough, right?

And yeah, positive flotation only if sealed to keep the water out. Mine had negative floatation, full of...

That’s awesome Rickie. That’s what ima gonna do too. Gotta have drainage.

I watched this video, and I cringed about all the foam they seal into the hulls and stringers of boats these days. It's great when new, but if water does get into this foam, it's not going anywhere....

Nope, no vvt, unless you can count on some belt stretch! I’m getting timing light, 4 vacuum gauges. Will tune up and add intake pipe, and do comprehensive compression test. Once it all comes in. ...

Don't think he's mad, prolly just busy. We camped up in his neck of the woods just, I dono 2-3 wks ago, and he brought us wood to burn, and told us all the good places to eat, which was real nice. ...

I only lined up the marks. Never thought to use a timing light, I'll have to do so. And really no smell of fuel when running. Thank you for your feedback. Any and all feedback is very welcome. ...

I found another video, these f100's just sound like that I think.

Dang are they noisy.

Any and all advice welcome. Thank you. Good to know about the adapters for compression testing. Already eyeballing a few on the jungle site. And the impellor was my doing. When I first got it...

Yes, it will be muffled, but a guy gotta know if'n it's gonna blow up or not prior to adding the muffler! And what's cool is, that other video sounds a lot like my motor, at least to me. So maybe...

Listen to this 90 hp yami, sounds alot like my F100. Hmmm, what do you think?

I just did a rod bearing test thing I seen on youtuby, where you try to push on the piston through the sparky hole, when it's "going down" in the cylinder. And I found no play. Hmmm

So maybe...

I do have good oil pressure. I had a guage on it forever, I removed it right before this video.

And yep, I have checked the filter too. I found maybe one sparkle and that it. I bought a bunch...

Well, it's kinda a long story. The previous owner said it was locked up, but when I got it, it was not. Here's some more history from the previous owner. He said the engine was rebuilt by a shop. ...

Sure don't sound right?

Anyone else have an older four stroke yami, does it sound like this?

You may know that I bought this engine locked up, and I took it...

Is it on?

Great job Tim. Thems some fun catchin' right there. :cheers2

Nice. :cheers2

The word PUNT is not in my vocabulary. I can fix absolutely anything, even if I have to replace everything on it! lol

Unreal, this is all I wanted, I wanted to see if this dern thing would even run/idle. And I finally got it. I had her running, but only with throttle, and she spit back at me bad. But after mega...

I vacuumed up to be rid of the sparkles. Yuck on that itchy stuff. Thought I'd share where I'm at on everything. Have I told you I hate fiberglass dust lately!

Awesome. Please thank him for his service. And I hope he catches many slabs. Thanks for sharing. USA FLAG

Agreed, the boat should be dry when you pull that plug. No water should be making it's way in. Yeah, I do see how that rub rail seam could be a cause, splash, and the water goes up and down the...

Check out the video, jump to 58 minutes in to see what I'm talking about. This thing is huge.

Additional fiberglass, and using epoxy resin (instead of a polyester resin), maybe could do the same, no?

Check this out, foam that gets wet, bad, bad, bad...
