BOAT DOES NOT RUN. BOAT IS SOLD AS-IS.
This Boat would make a great donor boat, or project boat for someone more mechanically inclined than I am.
Problem: Boat was winterized in November 2014. The boat was stored outside. After pulling it out of storage, the boat would not start. The problem was tracked to a rusted Distributor top end (see picture). This goes beyond my skill level, and I never took it to a mechanic (I ran out of money).
The boat engine ran well prior to this issue. However, it has always been a hard shifter. It was difficult to put into gear, and put into neutral. Even with this issue, it did run; we fished, towed skiers, etc.
The boat also had minor electrical issues. The navigation lights would run some times. Some gauges worked, some didn't.
The engine and outboard are OMC brand. It's a 4.3L OMC Cobra.
The Humminbird Fish Finder and VHF radio are included.
The stereo is not included.The rod holders are not included.The ropes and anchor are not included.The battery is not included.
If you have any questions, please ask.
Thanks for looking.
