well did some trading this weekend on a toon 1993 sweetwater 20' mariner 75 hp outboard.this boat has been sitting for 4 years in a hayfield near my house in middle tn.finaly talked to the guy and got to look at it up close what a mess had at least 8 inches of leaves and debris in it and the carpet had this cool moss stuff all over it the seats are shot as is the top but took a pressure washer to the carpet and came out pretty good.gonna have to get seats redone or replaced,top also.got the engine running but has a popping issue cleaned carbs but still doing it (posted this issue in other forum)all in all happy with my purchase and cant wait to get the family back on the water.we had a toon before 2005 24,party barge that we bought new but had to sell so this deal should work just fine. so i traded 1 gun that i had 600.00 in for the toon with little elbow grease and few $$$ we should be up and runnin shortly.

Welcome aboard whiting. Ya done good. Scratch that. Ya done great. That thing is worth considerably more than six bones as is. Should be a great little barge with a little work. Keep us posted.

You didn't mention the motor, so make sure you bring back to life properly. New fluids and filter. I would also change the water pump impeller and consider getting the carbs rebuilt.

I have the same boat with a 85 late model ob but paid 5k for mine so you got a very good deal. For 1500-2000 dollars you should be able to replace the furniture and carpet if you DIY.
