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

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

dont
know how much pressure this is putting on the lowerunit

be
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.

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!
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.

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 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.

Are you implying that anything that burns on a stick will
burn in the
engine?

Buy a book on boating.

wich one do you recomend?

See CaptMP's post.

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.
