Boat wasn't sunk. My dads friend appears to have tried to look at it during the week. He emptied 1000lbs of water into the boat because he couldn't figure out how the fat sac ballast pump worked. Smfh new plugs going in now.

its worse, 1 bent blade and it sounds and feels like you're driving through ball bearings instead of water. They are brass and the edges are razor sharp, doesn't take a hard hit to bend them and even the slightest ding is immediately noticeable. prop was the same, it was replaced 2 seasons ago and haven't had any issues since. It feels like it is just missing all over the place. I keep telling my old man that but he and the MR fix it crew insist they can fix it. The marina it was at has no diagnostics at all. Sounds like a timing issue to me reading everyones advice, hopefully get it sorted this weekend.

It's an inboard wakeboard boat. The prop is close to $1000 new. 2 seasons ago we went to pick it up and right away you could tell by the insane vibration that the prop was fucked. They tried to say that we probably did it and didn't notice. When that got shot down they magically happened to have a used/repaired prop that they put on it in stock. This marina doesn't even have gas in stock some seasons lol.

Doubt that will happen. Talked to a lot of friends and everyone says that they guy running the marina has just given up and doesn't care anymore. They didn't pay to fix the damage their roof collapsing on the tower of the boat cause. They tried to blame a prop that was folded in half on us as well. When that didn't fly they put a shitty used prop on it in place.

it ran perfect. They said there was a cooling system leak and both batteries were toast. $1700 later we were ready to pick up a boat that didn't actually drive in the water. It went exposed to snow, it just clearly sat out uncovered in the rain and rather than letting it dry they just covered it and said fuck it. Its literally black with mould inside. They did the same last year but also tracked muddy boots in and out of it and didn't clean anything, they said they would send someone over to clean it but were still waiting on that haha yeah until about mid jan they could have open water fished. good call, will have to check what they did as i wasn't around when it was done. Maybe they used it for ice fishing

yeah no kidding. There is an easy resolution to this which is just taking it to our tige dealer, port sandalled marina would have this fixed in 5 mins I'm sure. Only 120k short of that being an option Marina is owned by friends of our family on Muskoka. They are not doing well so my dad insists on giving them business when he can. no fresh gas in it. Also it is a mystery how I dropped it off at the marina with over 3/4 full tank and it was almost bone dry when we picked it up...but thats a whole other can of worms.

its a 2008 Tige. Still has relatively low hours on it. Hoping to get a few things to check next so I don't waste another weekend trying to get it running properly. I'm sure a real marina with diagnostic computer could figure out the issue in 5 minutes but my old man refuses to go that route cause all his friends seem to think they're experts and can fix it themselves.

FRESH PLUGS...PROBLEM SOLVED hey guys, we have a GM Vortex 5.7L (340 hp) motor in our wakeboard boat that won't accelerate under load. With people in it and some ballast it can't get over 13mph. It was left in the rain by the marina before being covered up wet and stored for the winter. We picked it up and its a horrific mess, had to replace both batteries and a new starter just to get it running (the 'marina' couldn't get it running in 2 weeks of 'trying'). I suspect that they either entirely forgot to winterize it or improperly winterized it. On the weekend we replaced the distributor cap and it can get up on plane with no weight or passengers but still runs like shit. In neutral the engine seems to run half decent. Anyone have a suggestion on what could be causing this?
