Nothing is more frustrating as a good boat you can't legally use.  As for the boat in question, that motor looks to be over 50 years old.  It may be OK but if it leaves you stranded with your family, you'll regret it.  Personally, I'd look for something newer all around unless your wiling to become a student of old boat/motor repair.  There should be some good deals out there this time of year.</p></blockquote><p></p>
