86 V20 with trailer - Free to a good home

Deal!

MJ and I will coordinate offline. I'll bring it home from NH; MJ isn't that far from me, so bringing it the rest of the way isn't a big deal. Plus, it gives me an excuse to have some fried clams at Lindsey's!

I'll try to post some pictures to this thread this weekend.
 
Thanks everyone!! I have already talked with BS and he said he has a bunch of parts there and can get a merc going for me! That will mean a bracket needed so I will start looking for one, don't know were the money will come from but we will see?? i have till next season to figure it out!
:nice:
 
I seen a guy use the seadrive bracket as the basis for an outboard bracket. I don't know how he did it, just saw it from a distance and it got me interested
 
I asked BS about that and he said he has heard of it but a real pain! bracket will be the way.
Gill bracket for sale..outboard motor bracket - $600 (Lincoln)

© craigslist -
I have a gill bracket for sale good condition ..mounts on boat to hold a outboard up to 150hp. $600
 
one of the big problems with the sea drive set up is the trim system parts. if the go out, almost impossible to find.

wouldn't give it up with out checking it out, but a bracket is definately a better route.
 
Been away bustin my butt the last few days, good to see this thread. If I can be of some kind of help I'm glad to contribute. Know a guy that had an armstrong bracket he was trying to sell, didn't get any buyer's and took it to the dump!

I was like WTH???

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
 
yea you never know when something like that wilkl be needed!! my place was loaded with stuff that i could never throw away, in 2005 my son said were did you get that? i said it came from tghe taunton house he said we left there in 1996!! lol yea but i always said i use it someday.
 
Sorry for being AWOL - I forgot last weekend was family trip to Maine.

I started to take the shrinkwrap off, but stopped when I found a hornet's nest. I took a break to let those bastards go back to sleep while I plan the after-dinner sneak attack.

So far she looks pretty good. It was getting to late and the light was lousy, but I got one picture. If I have time tomorrow morning before I have to head to work, I'll take a few more, otherwise I'll get some up Thurs/Fri.

Here I had waited for news as long as I could stand it and was just coming in to ask for an update....
You just posted 20 min prior lol

Thanks for the update.

MJ I expect to see that sig changed the second you take delivery ;-)

This is so cool!
 
More Pictures

Took these Monday morning after taking off the shrinkwrap:




Ignore the leaves in the last one - the ridgepole under the shrinkwrap collapsed over the cockpit this winter and tore open a small hole in the shrinkwrap (about 1-2 feet long). It collected leaves and snow, and they fell through. I'll clean that up.

Hopefully you can see the gloss in the hull in the first two pictures. There's a couple of nicks and scuffs in the gelcoat at the bow, but nothing bad. You can sort of see it in the second picture above the rubber block.

I'm not sure where the keys are. You may need to change out the ignition switch. The one in there now is a replacement (from West Marine, I think); I lost the keys once before.
