My 83 had starting issues every year from the time when it was brand new. Finally around 1990 I got fed up enough that I rebuilt the carb and installed the breakerless ignition conversion. It ran so well after that I never considered a boat upgrade until the upholstery started to self destruct. Interesting thing was that they appeared to have used an incorrect gasket between the carbs metering block and throttle body blocking a few passages. Not sure if it was the carb or the ignition but it after the upgrades it was fun to try to bump the starter, the engine would hardly turn before starting right up. That 83 was the best boat I ever had from a driveability/reliability standpoint. Other drivers always used to comment about how well it ran.
