Picked up to doner boat today. It is TRASHED! Motor is probably no good but you never know until ya check it out.
I was going to pass on it even though the outdrive appears to feel good when spinning the props by hand.
Told him the only way i would buy it was if i checked the oil in the outdrive and it came out oil. Took the plug out and the oil came out dirty green. No indication of water or large metal flakes. Few small ones are normal.
Told him $500 and he took it.
So now tomorrow is boat stripping day.
$500 for a good 290DP is a good deal i think.
