He had an old boat laying in his driveway that had been collecting algae and grass clippings and what not. After a quick look over I accepted the task and here is my current progress. I quickly began looking for motors to pair up with it and found a 1971 9.8hp for $300 and got to talking to the owner and made a trade ended up shelling out $150 and rifle tripod. The motor ran when i picked it up but became a hassle when i took it home and had flooding issues. Today I picked up a 1962 Sea King 14ft with a 2003 9.9hp electric start for $750 bucks. Sold my buddy the 9.8hp motor for $150 and he took it home and got it working rather quickly. My buddy is buying the Seaking ($300) and pairing it up with the old 9.8hp. The 2003 motor purrs and i wont complain at getting it for a steal. I believe we both made out on this deal. Anyways here are some pics of the journey so far.</p></blockquote><p></p>
