nice looking boat

Not a bad looking boat. When I was looking for a boat myself, I was told, anything with a white colored outdrive..to RUN !!. Any reason for this...hard to find parts ??

 

[msbhammer]

Whats a boat like this worth with the older outdrive ??

only thing I know about white colored o.d.'s mean Volvo/Penta...don't know if that's good or bad

 

[Mulv80]

Alot of times a white outdrive means OMC. OMC outdrives are hard to get parts for and were never that good in the first place.

 

[Skools Out]

yeah that's an OMC those were always white

 

[CapnBill]

Yeah Guys

It is an OMC .... run like He11

I once remeber reading something, somewhere on this site that somebody, up in MA said "GO BRACKET !!!"

Cbill!

C-Bill:
Run like Hell meaning good or bad ?
I would say bad. Whats it worth ?? Thousand, 1500 bucks you think ?

I stand corrected, to bad about the less than perfect outdrive issues because outside of that, that boat is probably as good as it looks

 

[chumbucket]

We like to refer to those OMC's as "White Elephants"

 

[Skools Out]

lol take that OMC outdrive off use as an anchor and go bracket.

 

[CapnBill]

MS...

You're in the ballpark - getting it for around $1k or so would be OK if she checks out OK (solid deck, stingers transom)
It would give you enough headroom to do a fill the hole in the transom ($500+), do a bracket ($1000), and outboard ($3-6K+). And if you start now - you may just get it done in time for summer ... SO IMO - given those numbers, timeframe and work - you may want to keep looking around...
Anyhow you already have one - and you want two, three or more ??

Look around for an outboard model. Be patient
