Hi Dirt Esox,

I live over here in Muscatine. I tried doing the breaking-in up in Wis. on vacation in early June. I ran it at
2000 rpm's the first hour, and 3000 rpm's the 2nd hour, but it was not all continuous. Since then, I have
not had the opportunity to run it much, with the river flooded most of June, and waiting to get a new prop
(rock bar in Wis.). The owner's manual says a min. of 86 octane, but the dealer I bought the boat from did
say the same about it being made for 87 octane. I ran it yesterday at 5000 rpm's for a half hour, and then
back to the dock at 4000 rpm's, and it went back to running normal after 10-15 minutes @ 5000 rpm's.
With what you and Pgaschulz have said, I am going to get the 20hr. service done even though I have not
put 20 hrs. on it yet. Thanks for all the info.

Greg
