[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 454604, member: 15465"] Your inquiry is a great step towards avoiding buyer remorse! 1st thing to consider is what do you want to use a boat for? Fishing? Family time? Water sports? Whitewater rapids :) Looks like nice boat but quite dated. You may have a hard time finding a shop that wants to work on that old of a motor. Also, the motor will use quite a bit of fuel for its output. May not be a big deal if you don't use it much. Keep in mind everything about it is old, so steering cable, control cables, wiring, fuel line all will need replacing at some time. If you get it at the right price, it could serve you well. PS - The transom overlay is a clue for rotted plywood underneath. [/QUOTE]
