Re: governor and idle of a perkins 4-108

I thought I might have had fuel coming out of the anti stall screw (on my 4108) after adjusting the idle speed up a bit (with the adle screw, because it was too low), but i watched it for a while...

Re: Assistance Requested: Local to Preview Boat in Green Cove Springs FL

my only gripe with this boat is just how slow it is. d/len at 269.4 is fine

sa/d of 14.7 (according to sbd) is 14.17. Thats a bit painful. I wish i could over canvas this thing a bit
