Buy the manual, get out your tools, and get to know your boat. Tell your
mechanic to go jump in the lake.

An old boat is only a bargain if you do your own maintenance. That
you paid someone $80 to "dewinterize" it is not a good sign.



Agreed. The OP needs to learn to do this himself- that was my whole point.

the OP also agrees but he... err.. I would like to get it in the water
running at least once so I know how it should run.


btw: is dewinterizing a scam?
