Outboard Bracket

[bcurling]

If memory serves me correctly, not too long ago someone in our group was looking for a OB bracket. I found one on Craigslist in the Hampton Roads area. Hope it is helpful,

Wow, $200 for a bracket........who's gonna get it?

Kamikaze just posted that yesterday in this section...

That is a killer deal. I'm almost tempted to buy it because it's a flotation bracket. I just don't want to do the work...

Somebody really should buy it. These kinds of deals don't come along very often.

Just to add a note; he is selling the 200HP EVENRUDE - for $350 that is currently hanging on this bracket. Yes, he says it is running. Just thought I would let you know.

It looks like a good deal, but I'm not sure how it would bolt on my V with the splashwell. Would the top bolts be going through and into the splashwell  ??? ???

 

[msbhammer]

Didnt see it posted anywhere that he was selling the motor as well ??
Mentioned it needed carb work though.

I might need this. Right now I need some advice. I'm trying to get a 1980 V20 io that needs a flywheel, supposedly runs, and comes with a trailer for $1000. Not sure of the condition yet. The pics don't show enough detail. If all else checks out is the flywheel a big deal? If so should I look to do a bracket? I might regret this but you can check out the ad at http://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/boa/465398161.html Thanks for any input.

 

[msbhammer]

WOW, thats a great deal. Dont know how hard it is to replace teh flywheel though. Can the seller send ya more pics. ??? ??? ???

 

[Bygracealone]

looks good. go get it...

 

[msbhammer]

Airslot, go and pick it up for me buddy. ;D

 

[Airslot]

I'm lucky to find time to read a post. Your on your own buddy, sorry

 

[msbhammer]

You been golfing to much with C.Y.

 

[msbhammer]

Called the guy, A bit strange to say the least. Not willing to send any additional pics.
Motor starts right up, but as soon as your out in the water, it seems its starving for fuel and stalls out.
Motor was rebuilt. Called repair guy look at it. All cyclinders are good and says its the carbs.

 

[msbhammer]

Local pick up only, not willing to ship.

 

[mpcalfa2]

He sent me an e-mail saying that he will be showing it tomorrow between 2-5pm. I personally don't want to star in "the Perfect Storm 2" so I'll try after this storm passes. And yes, if I go I'll take pics ;D

 

[msbhammer]

MP, your from the Va. area  ??? Must be about a 3 hour drive for me. :-/

 

[mpcalfa2]

No no, I'm on long island about an hour away. I'm going to do my best to go tomorrow. It looks like mostly a wind event for us and less so the further west you go. Just gotta figure a way to break it to the pregnant wife.

 

[msbhammer]

Your going to look at the boat or the bracket. ???
Guessing you mean the boat. DOnt forget batteries for teh camera. ;D

 

[mpcalfa2]

Yes the boat. Unless the gentleman with the bracket is willing to drive it to Staten Island, Ill even pay his tolls.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
