Another FS17 Build Thread

[Cowbro]

What a wonderful boat. I am sorry about the outboard issues, Is it a EFI motor or carbureted?

Any one who can build that nice of looking boat can get motor issues sorted easily

Beautiful boat, I'm sure you will enjoy it immensely once you fix the motor.

It is pretty dirty looking, but it had just been towed across country. The transom scuppers are shown below the waterline but this will likely change when people are in the boat and are walking around. But although the transom scuppers are below the waterline, the scupper leads in the first bulkhead are dry, we only had a little water come through when two of us were standing in the back.
The amount of deck space is pretty significant. I know that this is only a 17 ft boat, but the free deck space is significantly more than on my BW Montauk 17.
As for the outboard, i think the problem relates to the high pressure fuel pump and I think that I would rather have a professional service that part. However, from the limited time it was in the water, it tracked very straight will little "wandering" (the BW wanders a bit at trolling speed).
