deal or no deal?

[Loggerhead Mike]

While searching classifieds for a trailer and motor i came across an 16ft "Avery boat" with fiberglass hull, 85 80hp running crystler motor, and a trailer for 500.

Now with the questions

does anybody have an avery boat on here? i did alittle searching on yahoo but all types of boats are pop'n up, so i really have no clue of what type of boat it is.

and does anybody have a crystler motor? are they reliable? im just sceptic because being a mechanic, i personally hate working on crystler's :mrgreen:

well thanks for any input. its about 2 hours away so I havent checked it out in person. it sounds like the boat needed alittle r & r but he said the motor runs great. this is put'n me a bind with being half way threw finished with my jon. maybe 2 projects at once wouldnt be so bad :roll:

1985 Chrysler/Force = JUNK

The only way I would take that would be free, and it would have to be real close, or delivered to me, and that is only so I could make a couple bucks parting the motor out (people always need parts for Chrysler/Force motors).

Why a 'glass boat? I've had a few & they weigh a ton :shock: I saw a similar boat in Indiana Craigslist recently for $100. I've had a couple Chrysler OB's and was gonna be nice & give it a 50/50 :lol:

I have know idea on the motor but it always makes me laugh when I hear someone say a 23 year old outboard is junk.It lastest pretty long,I've heard of some new outboards conking out in less them a year.

I had a 9.9 Chrysler that was a jewel....I had a 40 that wouldn't have made a decent anchor.....that's where my 50/50 came from :wink:

It's not junk because it is 23 years old. It is junk because it is a mid 80's Chrysler/Force.

ALL of those were junk, even when they were brand new.

That's because they couldn't keep it running and it's been sitting in storage for 22 1/2 years.
