Your lucky. My new-to-me boat (Catalina 387) has only been in the water for a month or so and the bottom is a mess.

I wouldn't know where to start to trouble shoot....getting a mechanic to deal with it this week. I spoke to him and told him the situation and he thinks it is a fuel problem....engine not getting enough fuel....my fuel tank and fuel should be clean as I had the bottom of it replaced 2 years ago and the 2 fuel filters replaced. He thinks one or both of the filters are restricting the fuel flow.....I hope he is right but I don't think so. Possibly many are causes....restricted fuel injectors, fuel pump, etc. ....the engine has never been serviced in the 16 years I have had the boat Any insight or guidance to help greatly appreciated.
