Morning fellas!
Finally took out my used but new to me 79' Glastron 21ft Sea Fury CC.
Everything went great. Accept for 2 things. Once we got her in the water she seemed to struggle a little more than usual. She wanted to cold start on the "Run" setting on the fuel primer rather than the "Start up" setting.
She smoked a good bit which was semi normal but it was a little longer than normal and she seemed to run a little bit rough.
After a good 10 min warm up at the docs she seemed to be find so we idled out.
Once we got out the second problem occured. Note I've never taken this out of the harbor until today. But around half throttle she seemed to have a little bit of a shake or vibration. You couldn't see it but you could feel it on the boat/pilot seat.
1/4 or 3/4 throttle it was fine and the vibration was gone.
Anyone have any clue what the vibration or weird cold smokey start was about?
Only thing for the hard start and smoke is assume because I was lazy on the oil/fuel mix and poured the 64oz of oil into the tank before fueling up 26 gallons of fuel rather than fully mix it per 5 gal.
As always, appreciate any help!
