I'm going to ride up and take a look at this, the guy seemed like he'd
deal, and it's been on the list for quite awhile. Anybody ever owned
one of these motors, or know about them? How about the boat itself?
I'd take that hot foot off, I don't like them, and I think the empty
cigarette packs are throw in for free!

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 -

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!- Hide quoted text -

No pride of ownership.....

Always a red flag for me.

I guess that's why the OP asked for "opinions". :-)- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, I don't mind a project at a project price, but he just didn't
have the right stuff so he'd cobble up things. I'd fix his customizing
for a price!
