I bought this boat at an auction 3 years ago. I paid $1200.00 is was in fair shape I put a battery in it and I was surprised, it started right up. I am not completely new to boats but I am a new boat owner. Anyway I was anxious to get this thing out to the lake so without having anything checked out I put it in. Well needless to say that was a bad idea. Water was mixed in with the oil in the stringer outdrive and it seized up twisting the drive shaft in 2. So After looking and looking for a used stringer I decided it was best to let it sit. I finally found a guy who rebuilds them. I had it done. So now I have 3200 in the boat. The guy who rebuilt the lower unit told me it was getting hot but he was sure it was not the impeller. He thought maybe it was the exhaust manifolds. Bah, I thought, This guy is trying to get more money out of me. Well I took it out and sure enough, it over heated. Disgusted with myself and the boat I let it sit another year and a half. Well I got this feeling about 2 weeks ago. I was determined to get this thing going. So I took the the manifolds the risers recirculating pump and all the other pariphinalia. Well the manifolds were clogged. No keep in mind this thing sat out in the weather for about 2.5 years and it gets freakin hot and we get alot of rain. The upholstery was trashed the floor was bad the carpet disinegrated. So now I had to redo all this stuff. anyway After 2 weeks a tune-up and some learn as you go upholstery here is what I have. enjoy the pics and feel free to leave comments or make suggestions.
