No idea what to expect. The last owner was an older railroad mechanic who "had no idea if it will start or not." He wanted the yard room back apparently and had not used the boat in "4-5 years."
The boat hull looks very good and is pretty heavy. Truck gas mileage took a pretty significant hit. The floor carpeting is just shot. There is also a 4hp Mercury trolling motor with a built in gas tank. It seems like it may not be very old.
If the weather co-operates, I will know a lot more by noon tomorrow. In the meantime.....any suggestions?
I need a strong motorboat to retrieve my newly acquired (and large mistake to date) 5500 pound sailboat from the labyrinthine California Delta. The Yanmar was yanked from the S2 sailboat and promises to be a project to get re-installed and running.
I'm feeling pretty good about this purchase so far. Are '71 650's known for peculiar things?
