Who knows how long it sat. I'll bet it never seen Ethanol. The PO said at least three years. She never used the boat. 38 year old motor and it idles and runs better than the 1996 88 spl rude on the bass boat. The MPG's aren't great. A good decarb with some minor adjustments should do it.

Pea green. Vinyl is in great condition. It was growing on me but as I was looking for exterior colors to match, it became evident it may have to go. I have many pictures. But I'm a single dad with a 12 year old boy that keeps me busy. I'll get a post going soon.
