[QUOTE="haute, post: 327388, member: 12526"] Well, I went to see that boat today. Trailer was a 9/10, boat was 5 or 6/10 - it had a couple of hull patches he neglected to tell me about along with some extra wear, and the engine was... well... 130psi in both cylinders, which was good, but the carb needed a rebuild. He was only willing to come down $100 (the cost of a carb kit). So... I walked, in spite of the price. My wife and I discussed it in great detail tonight, and we agreed that if we double our price range, and hold off until next year, we can get a much newer boat, and have one to start with that will be a "long term solution". So, we started a "boat jar" which now has about $300 in it... :) I will report back when I find something else. In the mean time, I wanted to thank each of you for taking your time to help me out - much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
