I started this for the first time in 10 years. Ran good. Water pump worked.
But it leaks a little water from this rubber boot.
Is this normal? Just ok? Or terrible?
We really just want to do a shake down.
But don't want to ruin the motor?
We may only use it for a few minutes.
From what I can tell this boat sat on it's trailer since 2009. It needed only a quick sweep and wipe down.
The floor and sides look to have fresh paint.
My only concern is this hairline crack in the picture. It goes about 6' from the stern to the bow on the starboard side and about 3' on...
I just wanted to show off a little bit.
This is for my 16' Luger leeward. I used spar varnish on the tiller and poly on the plywood parts.
Three grades of steelwool on the brass and then hit it with some butchers wax. Thought the was might keep it shiny a bit longer.
So, I don't have the title for either.
I know the perfectly right way to do it, but I just want to get on the water.
If you don't feel comfortable writing in the open forum , send me a pm.

I am refurbishing a 2000 Johnson V4.
So, I am trying to save money, but I don't want to put in cheap parts.
I found the power pack OEM (0586292) for $217 and the CDI power pack (113-6292) for $183.
I'm trying to get on the water for cheap. Bills and everything require that I do this on a shoestring budget.
I need controls, oil tank, starter, steering cable for a 99' johnson 100hp.
I also need a starter, starter solenoid, power packs etc.
I live in Bergen county and the parents shore...
Re: quickest way to get boating. clear coat gouges. exposed glass.
OK. So I was able to grind it down and found the prior owner used car bondo to form out and fiberglassed over it.
So I ground out whatever bondo I saw except where he filled in a rod holder hole. I left that for later...

Here is a pic.
Re: Shoe string budget. Looking for reliability. Motor-19' Key West. I need your opi
I noticed that. I haven't tried to rotate with plugs off, but I will.

I was skeptical about...

So here are a few pics of the motor that hasn't sunk and then flooded.
It is an evinrude XP150. V6. What do you think?
I am looking around for a motor.
