I've been looking for quite a while now for a larger boat. I'd like it to be a multi-purpose boat. I've located a aluminum deck boat that's been sitting a couple of years. I'm not concerned with the furniture at all, it will probably be scrapped. I want it for a large stable platform. I figure it will make a decent 19 foot boat with a couple large casting decks and good size walkarounds. It has a decent looking trailer from the pics and a 96/97 Johnson 90 on it that hasn't been run in a while. It's a couple hundred miles from me so I need to take a lot of things with me. I'm bringing a compression gage, spark plug wrench, air bubble, tire wrench, battery, etc. I don't know if the tires will be weather checked or not but it's been sitting 2 years so I'm assuming they're trash. I'll be doing a visual inspection of the hull which I assume will be riveted, it's a 97 Lowe 19 footer. Then I plan on walking around on the deck to see if they're are any soft spots that will need addressed and checking out the transom.
Can anyone suggest a good way to get the motor to crank if there aren't any keys? Anything else I'm not thinking about? Thanks guys
