[QUOTE="gouran01, post: 236167, member: 4295"] 1st, welcome to TB, it's an addiction! 2nd, isn't the boat a mod v? I've a 17.5 food Lowe commander that is a very similar set up and it is fine on Lake Huron on semi rough days. 3rd, if the motor is still turning over freely it is likely still good for another 10 years. It's possible your buddy put impeller on backwards, has a junk of rubber in the water tube, intake screens are plugged? A lot of possibilities, but all likely very small. The loud buzzing was def the motor overheating, but that doesn't mean it is dead. The boat itself around me would sell 800-1800 easy, running up to maybe 3k depending on the condition (pics always help here)! [/QUOTE]
