It's a macho term, like the way some rifle owners called their guns a "bang stick". Nobody knows why, although rumor has it these terms give some people a real tingle in the panties. LOL! Well, I DO have a 52 cal. flintlock and the black powder crowd call those things a "smoke pole". But no, I never got a "tingle" anywhere with it. But you never know..... |

What tingles your panties? Hotfoot is a boat floor gas pedal. Trademarked term. They have been around for at least 45 years. Was originally for drag boats. |

I'll be using my stuff if I buy it. I'll look at the problem areas you suggested, like the rear deck, and like you, I'm a little (more than a little!) leery of the motor, that's the main reason I was asking. I'd heard of those vintage unEvinrudes blowing up. I like my very old Evinrude, but in that year range, I'd really rather have a Merc. Thanks for the input. The base engine is fine - it's the VRO that is flaky. I replaced one of mine on the 393V I owned, but never had another problem. Other guys who ran them went through two or three of them. *It just depended. Oh, with respect to the hot foot - give it a chance - you can always remove it if you decide you don't like it. *Personally, I'm ambivilent about them. I had one once and it didn't really annoy me as much as I thought it would. Good luck with it. Went up and looked at it last night. Besides the hotfoot, the hillbilly did quite a lot of..... let's say.... customizing that I didn't care for. Then he told me that he had replaced the VRO system, but when it failed it didn't do any harm "as far as he could tell". The battery/electrical wiring looked like my 8 year old did it. Now all of this wouldn't have been bad, I love having a project, but he wouldn't come down to anywhere near 3 grand so I passed! |

I'd take that hot foot off, I don't like them, and I think the empty cigarette packs are throw in for free! http://atlanta.craigslist.org/boa/526435056.html Be careful with this one. Based upon the way the current owner put this up for sale, I'd say there is close to zero pride of ownership. Lot's of dirt in the bilge, trash under the helm, etc. Anybody who cared about the boat would have spent 10-15 mintues cleaning it up before taking the photos for the ad. Anybody who *doesn't* care about the boat probably has been less than attentive to maintenance and repair. Well, not to be contradictory, but some people feel that if it's comfortable to them it ought to be comfortable to you too. Both of my boats, I purchased cheap, almost dirt cheap. the apholstry wasn't the greatest on either, but they were both mechanically well taken care of with sound hulls. But sure, I'd say that $3-3300.00 should be about right, that is, if the engine checks out ok. Of course, I know you'll want to at least run it on the muffs first.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I'm the same way, I like having projects, and don't mind working on something when I get a good deal. This wasn't it, see my reply to Tom. It was a good looking boat, but goober did some "customizing" ie: instead of fixing it correctly, go out back and find a piece off of some junk car of something! |
