[QUOTE="Loggerhead Mike, post: 236313, member: 774"] Generally in a boat half your investment if not more is in the motor. If possable always try and test it on the water. A motor under load will tell more about itself than one running on a hose or in a bucket Also rember glass rigs kept in the weather will rot from the inside out When I'm looking at a rig I pay special attention to the wear on bolts to get an idear if how many times its been worked on. Tug on that motor good to make sure there is no give in the transom Last but not least do not ever beleave what anybody tells you when they are trying to sell a boat. Those jons on that last cl list would go for double the price down here [/QUOTE]
