I posted a few days ago about possibly purchasing a boat but I don't think the owner is wanting to sell it since its his fathers boat and he's no longer with us.
I came across this 12 ft. starcraft jon boat and was wondering about it. I can't find any specs on a 1955 starcraft and it has a 20HP mercury that the owner said is from the 70's. He has the title for the boat and trailer and the engine runs good from what he says. I'm concerned that 20HP will be a lot for a 12ft boat but I've known people to do it with out issues (just don't run WOT much).
Can anyone provide any info on this boat? Is a 20HP mercury from the 70's over kill? I mean $800 is a good price imo for this set up but the 20HP may be too much.
