so when i was five years old i wanted own a boat. i am ex navy honorably discharged. the boat is a s old as i am and i bought it for very cheap. its missing the helm and cables i dont know if it runs. so i am at the point of i can give the title back to the organelle owner or i can keep it. there is a lot of work to be done. so my question is i suppose do i keep her and work on her or is it not worth the time and expense. need help here.....

so far i was told to run away from it by a boat mchanic because there are so many variables to consider. on the flip side of that i have a friend who says how hard can it be...

If you wanta become a Boater,.... Don't buy an OMC,..... Mercruiser, or Volvo are better bets,.....

OMC has been outa business for decades now,.....

If you want to enjoy boating, buy a boat under 10 years old
