[QUOTE="CodyPomeroy, post: 277778, member: 7177"] I've been ok with the boat and trailer, but motors gave me fits at first. I got my 1960's 12' with a sea king 3hp that hadn't been used in 20+ years. I got it started, but after MANY hours of frustration I came to the conclusion that the impeller was bad and wasn't worth fixing. The next motor, my current one a 1968 Johnson 6hp, came from a neighbor up the road. He said he had had some problems with it but changed the fuel lines and spark plugs and put fresh gas in the tank and it was working great. The first time I took it out it would run for a few minutes and die, run then die, and so on. Thankfully it was simply a bad fitting at the tank. Don't give up! Once you get the kinks worked out it will be great. I LOVE my boat. Good luck... [/QUOTE]
