[QUOTE="checkoutmyjunk, post: 474086, member: 25248"] Maybe the last update? I took the rig out for a spin over the weekend. She runs well, gets on plane quickly and hit 17 mph at wot on the 14 footer. I'd guess if I took off the whale tail and fine tuned the mounting height and trim I could squeeze low 20s out of it. I am over it fellas, the fun is gone. I intended to put more effort into the hull, paint or possible a polish, but I am done. If I am honest with myself I just bought it cause it was a good deal, then it all went sideways with the rats nest under the cowl and all the fun was gone. I sold the 4hp Evinrude that came in the package. I had it listed for $350 and like the 9.9 I was told it was "ready to go" . Once I had a few serious buyers lined up and decided to fire it up on the stand, it fired right away but would not idle down. I called the most interested buyer and explained, we settled on $175 as is. That covered the first round of parts in the 9.9. Over all I would guess I have about $900 maybe $1000 into the package, and I'd say it's a quick flip at $1200, At $200 profit it's not such a good deal considering the effort I invested. I guess if I sold each piece I could get better money. The hull I'd guess would bring $350 with the new title, the motor $700, the trailer another $400, the trolling motor,battery and fish finder could fetch another $100 and I already took $175 for the 4hp. I think these are quick sale no BS prices, sure I could ask more and wait but meh. [/QUOTE]
