340 CAT ETX intermittent surging with 3000 RPM limit or it'll die and not start

don't let h2oking hear ya say that

True that. I still need to get out with Harold and try his new ride. 25' of wave making glory!

I want to try boats with better waves honestly. It's a good measure to know how much "better" of wave I'd get for $xx,xxx of dollars. I know that when I rode the stock G23, it was different; but not necessarily "better" overall for the wave. Whereas when I went from my Supra Sunsport Direct Drive, it was literally worth paying over 2x to get into my XLV.

That's what I keep telling myself! (it's sure cheaper than a boat payment on anything newer!)

That said, I surfed my boat yesterday and last month I was on my buddy's 2015 Centurion FS23 with piggyback bags... I'll take my wave all day.

I said those same things.. Lol..

Then I stumbled on cheap dealer Craz, and it bought based on pictures and shipped it 1500 miles. Dam I love this new boat, so much nicer in every way. Except payment. The LSV was gone in a week..

You might be able to get 30k for yours, that's a big down payment. I did some rediculous 30 year loan so the payment is low, like 280$

Well, I can't afford that payment, so I just have to keep telling myself things!

did you ever get the drivability issue fixed trayson?

I *think* so.

things that might have been suspect:

• Coil Wire
• Ignition Coil
• Frayed wire on Ignition Coil
• Electrical connections on low pressure fuel pump

Things that I replaced anyway that probably didn't 100% need it:

• Cap & Rotor
• Spark Plugs
• Plug Wires
• Low Pressure Fuel Pump
• High Pressure Fuel Pump
• Fuel Filter
• new hoses from fuel filter to fuel pump
