hey boat gurus! My wife's uncle is looking to get rid of a boat he bought last year and never had in the water. I spoke to him briefly yesterday and don't yet own a boat so I didn't know all the questions to ask, but here's what I got:
it's a 1981 Seabreeze (?)
about 14 feet (maybe, not sure... could be closer to 16)
50 HP outboard (no idea on make)
Anyway, I have not seen it yet since he lives out of town. I kind of want to have an idea of what this thing may be before going out there. Any searching I've done says Seabreeze was a Lyncraft name from the late 60's. What else could this thing be then?
Also, more general questions. It's only a 50 horse which will be fine for tubing with the kids, but likely won't get an adult out of the water for skiing/boarding. Where do I look on the boat to find the max engine size? Do you think something like this (assuming it's in decent shape and can just hit the water) is a good starter boat to get the feel?
edit: let me know if this is the wrong forum.
