    New (to me) boat, just not yet.

    Thought I'd share a quick story. I've been looking for about 6 months and have looked everywhere including here at iboats for a particular model. I've scanned hundreds, called on quite a few and have looked at several. I found what I believe to be a very good deal. However it's 400 miles away...

    Hello Gentleman, I may purchase a 2002 Capri Cuddy, 3.0 with the Alpha 1. I'm just wondering if the general maintenance is something I could handle on my own? I'm a decent wrench turner but have never owned an I/O. TY, Dave

    Good morning gentleman. In the market for another boat and came across a 1988 Wellcraft American 192, 19' cuddy The owner says the boat has a 3.0 Mercruiser but also says it's a 170hp.

    I must be crazy, but have a couple questions anyway.

    Hello Gentleman, I have a dilemma! Possibly looking at a 1987 Baretta with a 3.0 Volvo Penta that doesn't start. The guy doesn't have time to work on it so he bought a 21' Sea Ray. He may possibly give me the boat or sell it to me for 500 bucks. EZ loader trailer too. Now, he said the motor...
