I want to offer some sympathy to AuntyM. Bad dealer support sucks.

I have a North River with a sport jet. When I bought the boat, on the test drive, it ran rough at about 300 rpm. I suggested that maybe the final 24,000 dollars would not be forth coming until it ran smooth. They had some trouble making it run smooth. I suggested that maybe that particular sportjet was not the one I wanted. They pulled the motor, put another brand spanking new one on, and it's run flawlessly for a year to date. The suspicion was carburation problems in the old one. I love the engine I have now, but the other one had some problems to be sure. Maybe there are some quality issues inthe assembly of the SJ. I don't know.

My dealer, factory outlet for North River in Clackamas. Have heard mostly good things about 3 rivers, but haven't dealt with them, myself.

Aunty, sorry to hear of your woes. Sucks to have a bad running boat.
