Should have fished out of it first. That way you could have leaned out the process by making modifications that actually serve a purpose. May find out that you're actually losing space by adding compartments.
update. it was fine. It was only running on one cylinder. I've spent the last 8 hours trying to get good spark on both cylinders. Sure aint as easy as an OMC magneto. Getting rid of it.
Jon boats need to look plain IMO. The buyer sees a custom boat like that and think it could have been done better or doesn't trust the craftsmanship. They see a stock looking boat and start imagining what they can do to it.
pappy, do still have any of those 3 cylinder 35's? I am looking for one. I put a 25 on my dad's tracker, and it's been turn key since I replaced the power pack. Should have never given it to him.
Do you get anything when you press the start button? The wires are frail and corrode easily under the insulation. Could be a short in the wire. A short in the starter will act up and produce random results.
scrap the boat and trailer, recoup as much as you can, and then you can call it a steal. I wouldn't dump a penny into that boat, unless you count the expenses taking it to the recyclers.
