Clean the bottom every 3 weeks? Hopefully in the slip! I can't see paying $6/ft to haul & wash the bottom every 3 weeks! I almost think they are 2 barrel carburetors. I'll check when I wander out to the boat again to verify it. I'm definitely thinking the engine should be going faster than 3,000...

Is there a place anywhere to get carpet made to fit the boat without having to find someone locally that has to measure the floor to make a carpet? Mine is old & ugly and I want to replace it but haven't a clue where to go in Virginia Beach.

I'm at Cobb's Marina in Norfolk

I don't know anything about wheels and shafts but I had the stuffing boxes repacked a couple months ago. We take it out every couple weeks. With 94 degree days, yes, things grow FAST! But even the day it was clean it was a bit slow.

My GPS is where I am getting my speed from. It feels incredibly slow and It takes me about an hour & 15 minutes to go 18 miles.

Hey all. I bought a 1973 F-31 with 2 Chrysler 318's Rebuilt by Jasper in 1990 and they have some hours on them. They go up to 31-3200 RPM's on a good day, normally 3000 rpm is the max I can get it to. But even when the Chesapeake bay is like glass, the boat max speed is 14-15 knots. Why? It goes up ...

it's no different then when you are renting an office or retail store space. You list the property owner on the policy as well. Their insurance will cover them if you don't have insurance but it isn't really costing you anything to add them to the policy.
