Hello everyone,
I'm new into boating. (re: First boat.... )
I'm currently looking at a 1977 18.5' supersport for my family of 6. I want to be able to take the family tubing, and fishing, etc. Regular stuff.
I have a few questions though. I have researched this boat quite a bit, and it seems like this is a pretty good boat.
It has a 115hp Evinrude, and a 4.5 Johnson.
The boat does seem like it is in good shape, and they are asking 4700 in Canada. I have looked around, and it seems like this is a pretty ok price. I am hoping to get it for around the 4400 or so.
My questions:
1. Thoughts on the engine? Easy to repair? Or anything crazy I need to know about the Evinrude?
2. Is the super sport a good starter boat?
3. Am I going to regret not getting something bigger? Or do I need to be more realistic with how many of my kids I can take out at a time. (Boys are 15, 13, 11, girl is 8) They are all skinny!
4. Does the price seem ok? (I know you haven't seen it, but just asking)
Thank you all!
