Buy ANY book on boating you can find as it seems you haven't much
experience..if any. If you are for real try CHAPMANS. If spring rain and
winter snow is really draining out of the hull walk away. Doesn't sound like a
good project even for somebody who knows what he is about.
Happy New Year

Ok, the snow has melted a little, and the lowerunit IS starting to

know how much pressure this is putting on the lowerunit but it cant

good!! I cant tell if the stering is going to turn ok.

Dig a hole under the lower unit. Put a plastic bucket in the hole so
it won't fill back up with dirt.

i dont think he will like me digin in his yard.

He has taken the plug out of it, and has cranked the toung of the
trailler up so the melting snow (and summer rain) is running out of
it.

Not a bad idea.

The mold on the vinel seems like it will clean off without to much
hard work.
and i took off the gas cap, and to my surprise IT SMELED LIKE GAS!!

Why not try to start it now. If it starts, fill the tank with gas.
Put
some stabilizer in there also.

Its the middle of winter here, if I start it, it will have to be
rewinterized. my nabor will not do that.

i thought for sure it would be rotton. i think what im going to do,
is
stick something in and get a little gas on it, and see if it will
burn.
if it dose, hell it might run.

Please say you're joking here.

no, im not joking. whats wrong with what i said? If the fuel will burn
on a stick or somthing, it will burn in the motor.
Buy a book on boating.

wich one do you recomend?
