Now that i'm a boat collector, i found someone who wants a 150cc moped i've had sitting around since summer, in trade for his glasspar. Moped has few small issues, as im sure the boat does, but becaues i import them, i think my moped is worth trading.
What do you think of this...

"The kicker is on my other boat. It is just a little Suzuki 8 HP. Nothing

I'm wondering is it common to change things like the flywheel at a motor thats under 20 years old... and the "carbs" LOL.
