[QUOTE="trollingman, post: 501542, member: 34077"] He said it ran great last time out 5 years ago. Turning right was getting stiff, new steering cables are probably in order. Parked it outside for five years. The real question is why was it parked? Could be something as simple as the steering was trouble and he planned on fixing it "someday" which turned into five years of neglect. It didn't look particularly abused as much as neglected. Taking to him about the motor he seems to understand the work it needs before it gets in the water, hopefully that means he took care of it when he was using it I'll find out a lot more once I talk in person, I can normally get the story from people. I'm supposed to go see it Monday, so I'll have more information soon. [/QUOTE]
