need to drive it on lake, Make sure you can get a good hole shot. I bougth a skeeter with a 220 1984.<br />had to rebuild carbs and put in new fuel pumps. It ran ok on muffs but when you put it in gear it died. It runs great now. Make sure you look at the prop no dents or dings. Don't get in a hurry I have too big of a motor for the boat so look every thing over.
