I have owned this boat for a month. would not start. went through all wiring and new battery/ kill switch. starter issue solved. still won't reliably fire. new fuel pump and it goes every time.run up the lake at 30mph and it's very smooth. it's perfect from the launch to the north end. it does start again if you keep trying it frequently after anchoring to jig. jig for 45min or troll with the kicker for awhile and let the 55 sit too long and that's it. next time I go to fire it up it will not go. could kill the battery trying. I did last trip. gas everywhere. smells all day. do not try it too many times throughout the day, it just makes the smell worse. so that was yesterday. If I took it to the lake today, it would fire right up and I could rip it around and then troll with the kicker back to the launch because it would be exactly like yesterday.
