Re: '64 Sea King
sea king is montgomery wards best i know.
i know nothing of their boats other that i'm sure they were made by someone else, for montgomery wards. if they're anything like the o/b's. they could have even changed boat mfg.s through the coarse of the years.
my grandand had a wards 6 hp o/b. i don't know how many years it was used, but many years for sure. best i remember w/o much issues for the most part too. i don't remember that o/b going to the shop so ofter as some of the others we had. the one grandad had was a chrysler in discise i believe. i guess not to desirable. but it did last a long time....
fwiw. here's a boat for sale in my area now.
http://lincoln.craigslist.org/boa/2753503557.html it don't look so bad imho. for a small boat. living it's life on big mac lake is pretty respectable too for it's sea worthiness. big mac can put many boats off the lake when the wind whips up. i neglected to get on it one day in a pwc for high wind and waves. i don't think i scare off easy either..
i'm with MH Hawker. never believe any seller. they may have motivation to lie at the very minimum.
