[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 381196, member: 10"] After you hit the kill button and it would not start did you try pumping the ball on the fuel line - you might have a tiny bit of vapor lock or a sticky choke even - Does your fuel tank have a vent? If not you should leave room for air to get in as fuel is sucked out Finally, your boat is not really under powered that much - looks like you were up on plane and moving OK Not gonna be a speed demon with a 9.9 but still will get you there at a nice clip - especially a nice light boat like you have. I would use the boat for a while with that 9.9 and keep your eyes open for a nice 25 to 35 hp motor - the deals are out there if you have patience BTW Johnny Rude made a great motor that is fast, simple to work on and very reliable especially if you want to go 2 stroke [/QUOTE]
