What a fun boat! Im two years in, and loving it. Everything except the engine. Looking for advice. It starts and idles well, but as soon as its underway spits out black smoke and sooty water. I had it looked at 2 years ago - they checked fuel injector etc but said all was ok. Now, it seems to be putting out less hp. We motor very, very slowly and yesterday into the marina heading into the wind with little current were being pushed backward! Any suggestions? It has been hauled out in 3 years so maybe time to look at the bottom/prop? I'll probably have the engine looked at again as well. Happy for suggestions.
Some have suggested I just mount an outboard. Would kinda suck to just leave that diesel sitting there. If i were to do this, does the transom need to be reinforced to handle a 10hp outboard?
Cheers
