Harry, gas tank and fuel system thoroughly cleaned, and it did not
act like it was starving for gas.

I did not have the powerhead apart, so if the pistons are in backwards,
they been that way for 30 plus years? …… but worth a check.

I thought about the prop, and eyed up the one on my 38 Sportfour,
but not being in the same room, it was hard to tell, but I “think”
the prop on the 36 is more aggressive.

The Crestliner isn’t super heavy, and I’m used to running it with a 35 hp
Big Twin, and never ran it with a comparable HP motor to the Sportfour.
I did have my 38 Sportfour on my little Alumacraft, and that was
on the scary side! That motor wound up nice.
