    Nice. Welcome aboard. Looks like she is ready to go. Maybe add some side bunks to aid in loading onto the trailer. And a bow tie down strap or chain. Happy boating.

    Merc 40 HP.-

    Sea Rider is not in the US, Peru, correct? So Merc 2 strokes may be available to him. It looks like Yamaha still distributes 2 strokes to much of SA.

    Mirrocraft 1628 holiday vs Legend All sports 15

    I am eyeing on these two... for family use. I hope its a small family, and thy are all small. Both of those boats will get crowded real fast. The Mirrocraft will out live the owner (you). If the ladder is set up for emergency boarding, it is a plus. A portable hang over the edge ladder is...

    Craigslist scammers ? or am I being paranoid?

    I will communicate with the marketplace email a few times, then offer them my phone number so they know I am local and serious. This also helps them to easily text me some additional photos. If they text me, I now have their phone number as well. Helps to coordinate pick up, directions, etc.

    Transom adaptor from 15" to 20"?

    Post 1 says both motors are 15". Post 6 says 20". If the 40 is a 20", just spend $200 on an adjustable jack plate and be done with it. KUAFU 4'' Set Back Jack Plate

    Head with no holding tank, is this illegal?

    Thats only for the big lines that are touting it for their public image and those serving 1st world countries. Many smaller lines and those in non woke parts of the world still dump raw sewage. Documented year after year.

    I'm pretty sure that almost everyone here id looking for at least one of those transom corner caps. There is a guy that makes replicas and sells them on ebay.

    Head with no holding tank, is this illegal?

    Best you not travel the ocean or visit 80% of the countries with ocean access, where ALL garbage and waste is dumped in the ocean. That means no cruise for you. :(
