My first project boat 65 thunderbird

[MightyMach]

I bought this not even looking to buy a boat but as they say, you cant fix stupid....

the pics look A LOT better than it is. Structurally it seems fine visuaally it's pretty ugly. I bought it from a guy that bought it from this guy and was told the 1973 150 mercury has no compression on one cylinder so i got a 1970 115 merc with the deal....including a blown (?) 150. I got it for 750....figured I couldn't get hurt on the deal. What Do you guys think?? also is this boat a "good" boat?? Thanks!!

hi......welcome to i boats!.

it sounds like you might have your hands full....the link didnt work for me......i just got a main page.

please post pics that you have.

in the mean time.....read the compleated projects forum.....you can learn a ton from them......as your boat may have a bit more than motor problems.

cheers

well you got two motors out of the deall. you can probably sell the parts from the one you don't want and get all your money back

Two engines in the deal sounds like a good one to me.

Personally, I think that Thunderbird would be great behind this Thunderbird!
