A little confused. What is this "off season" you speak of?
We're just waiting for the lift guy to get the remote working so we can launch from IN the boat.

Hey clm0fiz. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!
Look for the attachment tab after clicking the “full editor and preview” radio button. Then simply add attachments.
That way us Northerners can live thru you until summer.
Again welcome aboard mate!

Your southern slang is funny.
It's called "upgrade season" here in the north.
It's when we spend time making engine sounds with our mouths and our boats better.

Okay, first attempt at posting pictures (actually second; I messed up the first). Here is a pic of the boat on the lift where we bought it, in Admirals Cove, Jupiter, FL.

Also changed my IAC. I bought a cheapie off Amazon and tested it this afternoon. I didn't make anything worse! No stalling, good idle. Time will tell.

Water didn't leak OUT. So need the boat in the water to find where it's coming IN.
