First I'm doing this for someone else. They just moved out here and don't have a computer hooked up yet. So any direct questions that I need to answer may take a day.<br /><br />Here is why I volunteered to be a third party.<br />When Mike asked the boat mechanic where he wants to store it the kid told him to just put some gas in the tank and fire it up. It didn't sound right to him so he asked me and I went well nuts! <br /><br />Made him and his wife promise not to even hook up the battery until I could get them some information. They agreed.<br /><br />His 81 year old step father gave this boat to them because they really like fishing and are busting their butts off to earn a living and can't afford one right now. <br /><br />1973 Seaswirl Pogprig<br />Hull ID BRCD015BM73E<br />Motor 1973 65HP Johnson Seahorse<br />Model 65ESL73<br />Ser Nm J3843799<br /><br />Now here is why I gave all the above information and made them promise not to touch it until I could get back with them.<br /><br />This boat motor and trailer package was bought new in 1973. Between 1973 and 1994 was only used<br />four times in fresh water lakes! <br /><br />Your reading this right. Trust me I've grilled them for a week to confirm this from step dad.<br /><br />4 / four / fore / times. Each of the four times he disconnected the gas line and let it run out and dumped the gas in the tank. washed and dried the boat then put it back into his garage and disconnected the battery.<br /><br />This boat is in MINT condition! I will post pics of the happy boaters after we get them on the water. As I told them, motor and lower unit first.. then the rest.<br /><br />They want to do it right. <br /><br />Thanks.. this is why IBOAT! Pun intended! <br /><br />Link
