Last summer when i bring my boat at the dealer for winter, the boat was runnuig like a new one, i was hitting 8000rpm. Its a 2005 Challenger 180 215 SCIC (stock, 68h) The oil change, winterizing, etc, have been done be the dealer.Last week end, i take de boat out for the first time of the year. I start the motor and accelerated, the boat was very slow, i put the gaz at WOT and the rpm stop at 6400rpm    and i wasn't hearing the superchager sound.... + the sound system and the ICS wasn't working... What the fuck?? I change all the fuse without any change..

any ideas about those problems? maybe my dealer is the problem



Sorry for my english

did you ever get your problem solved? I recently bought an 05 challenger and it was running pretty bad when i first took it out. the previous owner filled the tank of with gas before he stored it. So we figured it was bad gas. Once most of that gas was gone it ran much better. I added some sea foam and almost got instant results. I considered taking it in for a check-up but after i took it out last time it seemed to run great, with less gas. it seems that with a really full tank it does not run as smooth. I hear that you are not suppoed to fill boats up all the way. so i will try that and see if it runs good again. I always seem to think the RPM are always running way high, maxed outall the time getting going. But, if you ae saying that you cant get them up high, that may be a different deal.

huh, didnt really read your post all the way. ics and radio not working? thats strange. but i heard somone mention that before when they had a bad supercharer, somthing about a factory re-call on some part. same thing happened to them. Try another forum on the internet I saw somone wrote about it on one of the jet boating forums.

Cool, Thx for the info.
For the money, it seems good. All my fishing friends think im nuts, but im not that serious of a fisherman. im working on getting one right now. It just seems like the way to go. The whole stern being low thing sounds kinda wild, i guess we will see what happends with big waves. I dont wanna dunk it!! lol.
