Yeah. My 2GM likes throttle for first start of the day and blows a tad of smoke but runs like a top. Went through and changed all fluids, belts and hoses last spring. I install a new impeller every spring. Cheap insurance. Have not to date but intend to tackle fuel system this spring. Removing fuel tank to gain access to a leaking exhaust hose. You have a great boat. ENJOY!
