    Nice to see young people enjoying such a beautiful day on the water. Those small boats look manageable, enjoyable, and economical. In my day, even smaller outboards really guzzled gas. We used to think in terms of gallons per mile not miles per gallon. Love your videos.

    Yeah tell your friend if he would get the right Stainless Steel Prop for his boat he can increase his Speed to maybe 5 to 10 MPH more . I would check in on it if I was him or even you don`t know if you have Aluminum or Stainless .

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  3 года назад

      Going to stainless would probably only increase it by 1-2mph on these little boats. His main issue was the way the engine was tilted up and weight.

    The ethanol in the gas eats up the fuel lines . It clogs up the fuel filters . It is also corrosive on the carburetors . Boats really need ethanol free fuel .

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  3 года назад +1

      You are right. But it doesn't really effect mine so much. My boat gets used so often the gas isn't just sitting around. I have black fuel lines instead of the grey ones which are known to break down. I also have fuel injection and not a carburetor.
