Ok, the snow has melted a little, and the lowerunit IS starting to
sink into the groung, just the little fin on the verry bottom. i dont
know how much pressure this is putting on the lowerunit but it cant be
good!! I cant tell if the stering is going to turn ok.

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.


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!!
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.

And he dose have the little things that feed water to the cooling
system on the lowerunit. mabey he'll let me try to start it this
summer.
Any thing else y'all can tell me is much appreciated

Well, you sure do appear to be a quite competent individual who knows what
he's doing, so I don't foresee any problems in your boat-owning future...lol

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

Not a bad idea.

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

Please say you're joking here.

Its the middle of winter here, if I start it, it will have to be

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?

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

What difference does it make if you dig a hole or the lower unit sinks
into the ground. Either way he has a hole in his dirt!

If he 'winterized' it, then he probably filled the tank with gas and
put a stabilizer in it. If he didn't do that, then I would question
whatever winterization he did.

I sure hope you find a different sport as we do not need the
likes of you on the water. Have a good new year if you live
that long

boots, shut the hell up. iv read some of your other posts, and you are
nothing but an asshole. if you cant give me advice on this boat, than
dont wast my time, and google's bandwith. if you have something good
to say, then i'll listen.


but on the subject of fuel, yea, its not a guarantee that it will
run, but it will show that the fuel has not gone completley south.
witch might mean the fuel system will not need a complet overhulal.

I'v tryed to stick a tape measure into the tank, got 4 feet in and
came out with no gas on it.


and i got in it, and the deck feels good. no soft spots. lots of mold
thow.

the bildge looks, like it has not had water pooling in it. just damp
from water running out of the PLUG, not the HULL. its running out
where its ment to.



all and all, i think this boat is reall not in to bad of shape.
just needs some tlc.

tmark,

If the gas was not stabilized, it would have gummed up the carb or fuel
injectors, even if the gas would burn.

The reason Boots made his comment is because you seem to want to use this NG
as justification to buy the boat that you have already decided you want to
buy. You solutions to determine if the boat is a good value is useless at
best, and could be extremely dangerous.

If you decide to buy the boat, I hope you take some safety courses, find
some boaters to help you. Most of all, I hope you don't boat close to any
body of water I use.

No, he is not. Please learn to read. He said that is "THE FUEL" will
burn on a stick, it will burn in the motor. Your twisted thinking
instantly changed that to ANYTHING.
