Any advice on getting this boat straight would be appreciated. I have been looking at this forum the last few weeks and finally decided to join. I acquired this boat about two weeks ago for the high cost of 2 cases of beer.... couple of the old guys I hunt with wanted to get rid of it. The one with the title has been out of town so I haven't picked up any of the title or registration paper work yet. Any ideas as to what brand it may be? The boat is a 16' xtra wide with a 25hp mariner. The motor hasn't been run in about 7 years but looks to be in pretty decent shape. Any input on these motors is appreciated as ive only had omc or Johnson motors. I know I need to do the plugs, fuel filter and water pump before I run it but any other suggestions? Thanks for your help guys as this is my first project. The trailer probably needs the most work, but for two cases of beer I started out pretty cheap.
I don't know what the plan for it is going to be yet, I don't know how much ill trick it out from the get go or if ill just get it seaworthy at first. I filled it up with water the other day and found no leaks anywhere. Don't know if I want to go the bass john route or just the river running basic john boat route yet.
