Re: buy it??

That is a great combo and if in good condition reasonably priced. If you are new to boating take someone who knows (even if you have to pay s mechanic) boats & motors along with you to look at it. Ask for a compression check, check the gear oil and give it a thorough water test. You can get burned easily & it can get expensive quick. On the other hand the enjoyment is hard tomeasure.
