Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice.

New update...... threw some oil into the cylinders and I can get the flywheel to move 3 or 4 inches in either direction, I don't really know if this is good, bad or indifferent. But at least it moved some.
OK talked to previous owner who gave me a little background on the boat.
He said that the boat had been flipped. The owner before him left the plugs out and the boat just flipped over and never sunk.
Would this mean that the powerhead is junk?
I did finally get the flywheel to turn and all the pistons do move. Just not sure how much attention or money to put into this motor to get it to run.
