Well after 6 years of abuse my motor finally died on me. It was actually running but nobody knows how

I had a total of around 300 hours stock then another oh maybe 600 hours on the mods... Looks like the block finally just wore out and everything went bye bye inside. That's 4 years of running mods before I started having multiple internal issues.

I have located an upgrade and hopefully will be back on the water in a month.

Hoyt and crew are putting the old girl back together. She'll be leaving with some much needed new paint. Other than the hole in my pocket I can't wait to pick up my spruced up rig.

In glad to hear you got some good hours out of it. I'm picking up my boat tomorrow from GT. Hopefully i get a good 500 hours before any major breakdowns.

My GD is about the same age and hours as yours WEA... But in true GD form
it could not be stopped - really - pull the lanyard or turn off the key - it just
kept right on running.... Having a new set of coils and diodes installed and
picking her up at the dealer in the AM....

Friday play time ! ! !

WEA - what engine oil do you use in your engine? do you use Amsoil grease on LU?
Sounds like you got a lot of hours out of your motor and it would be nice to get the same on mine.

3CK is Correct! It was a Briggs issue.

I'm still going to be running my same output shaft and lower unit.

I have always run Mobil1 Synthetic 5W30. Oil was changed every 15 hours along with the Amsoil lower unit grease. Lower unit grease always topped off after each run /outing.

What is the average life span of these motors? W/o mods and with

Giga giga. You just don't get it.
In 2 summers I put 500 hrs ran 80 charters and made 60 k. Only way was from reverse, neutral and trims. Your turn.

You guys are funny when you start in on each other.

I regret never putting a tiny tach on MY Go Devil LT when I bought it back in 1987 - but I'd bet it has 1000's of hours on it and it still runs like a top. I don't have mud and shell bottoms to run in up here but I work it pretty hard a couple months each year in stump and log minefields and I've only replaced the prop ONCE in all those years. I shoulda replaced it years before I actually did though.

Sure, I've had to replace a few things, like a starter and flywheel ring gear from getting sticks shoved in where they shouldn't have gotten and I've gone through a few starter switches but I think when I switch to a sd, I'll stick with a stock motor for reliability because I've read too many horror stories here about modded motors puking.

Mud Buddy must have a reason for only offering a 6 month engine warranty on anything that isn't stock...

Oh, and I made a brazillion dollars last year.
