I would spend a couple extra bucks and look at this I've run 4 stroke since 96---I'll never go back to 2 think this guy is on this board https://www.kijiji.ca/v-powerboat-motorboat/hamilton/legend-xcite-164-aluminum-boat-8500/1690295445

If you've got power---I think someone mentioned the jumper cable direct to starter is probably your next step to eliminate switches etc

Mostly what I have used over time check connections as well as the posts for clean

Any time I get dead power like you describe---9 times outta 10 in my life it's been a ground issue Make sure your ground connections on both ends are clean and not corroded. Bad grounds can drive ya crazy

I hear a Mickey of Screech and a bag of kelp can buy ya outta jail

Everyone is O-Fish-illy now on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION 😀

My connections at the battery have a circuit breaker ya push in when tripped---part of the battery connection itself look for a button to push in maybe

Get on a nest of smaller walleyes---bigger gators are usually close by

Bought my Smokercraft 1n 1996 one of the 1st Merc 4 strokers on it Still on the water and catchin more fish than Jonah And yes ---I am a huge Smokercraft fan---and have fished outta many Lunds and Crestliners

May have to go old school and trial and error like many of us learned find weeds, breaklines and rocks and give er a go

I agree---one of our greatest species we have I thought so---so much that when we built I had a pond dug and stocked it with them and some bows Was one of the greatest things I ever "had" Had as much fun feedin them as catchin them--but alas----predators and fluctuating water levels put me outta the game Great tho while it lasted---this was them

I've got a 17 foot boat-----boat and motor is a 1000 lbs trailer maybe 300? when my livewell is full bout 3000 lbs---handles her well 😎

I've got a 13---I heard issues with the 16's https://www.motortrend.com/news/2013-ford-escape-ecoboost-rated-to-tow-3500-pounds-174613/

I used to do the f150 4x4---and there was a time it took $150 to fill it therefore I downsized to a 2 litre ford escape with a 3500 lb TC good on gas---4wd if I need to run to the lumber yard or dump---I have a utility trailer too many years I run around with an empty box truck---just to say I drove one

does your grocery store not carry them? that's where we get ours

Hey Bri---keepin them lines tight?

Just watch your trim to keep the nose down---sitting in the back sometimes can be a challenge for obstructions or kayakers 🙂 passengers a lot of times don't get that you need to see also- I run a 50 tiller

Round Lake---minutes from Barry's Bay

Muskrat lake is a different animal---it's Cobden Busy lake---lots of bass tourneys---suffers every year from a heavy blue green algae good fishing---just busy---lots of Ottawa traffic Guess this is where the interweb is a good thing for info 😏

Uh...Santa didn't bring ya what ya wanted?? 😀 Just kiddin---Environment should always be considered

Decent fishing in Kaminiskeg---Bark Lake and Madawaska river Round lake has been good lately---other trout lakes nearby You see atv's around on roads Nice little town

I missed that Weaponizing your boat section in the boaters exam test we all had to take I guess

I hate when the fish interrupt my sandwich 😃

You may wish to assess your boating requirements Hey it's 2020---why not? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/humpback-whale-st-lawrence-1.5591877

Maybe talk nice to Limeyangler---maybe he could do some Recon for ya
