Hi guys. I am thinking of buying a used 17' Arrow Glass tri hull bow rider. The boat has a 1979 model 50hp Johnson and although I have not checked the motor out yet, they tell me it runs fine. The motor looks to be in good shape. I'll check the L/U, compression, spark, etc... before I buy. The hull appears to be in excellent shape. Owner is asking $1500. This includes a trailer with new tires and winch. No electronics are included and the throttle cable will need replacing. What do you guys think of this setup? Is it grossly underpowered? The capacity plate says 70hp max. Anyone know the track record of 1979 model OMC 50hp motors? Thanks for your help, I appreciate any input.<br /><br />The Rat.
