[QUOTE="DiveLiberty, post: 434683, member: 22384"] Picked up this boat, motor, trailer combo for free from a relative. It has had intermittent use over the last decade or so, but was mostly neglected in the barn. She's a 16' Crestliner marked 1973 on the title. I'm selling a 14' Lowe to fund the project. The boat is nice and spacious. My plans include a complete strip down and overhaul including, new paint inside and out, complete floor with casting deck up front, new electronics and wiring, etc. The motor is a Mercury 200 20hp with electric start. It's currently not running, but is turning over nicely. It's getting a good spark after changing the plugs but still no luck. Next course of action will be to look through the fuel system. I'm at a bit of a loss on how to redo the ignition (key, wiring to battery, wiring to motor). Does anybody have any experience on "re-building" an ignition system on an electric motor? Some pictures of progress so far attached. I'm currently getting started on stripping the paint using a stripper and wire brush. Then will use some self-etching Rustoleum primer, followed by a nice new coat of paint. [/QUOTE]
