Hello,<br /> Im new here, Im looking to get a boat. I live near Lake Huron in Mi. I found a 1989 Four Winns Freedom 160 w/ 3.0 omc drive (is this a good motor?). for $3000. seats need replaced, the out drive was rebuilt. all else looks ok. what should I look for and what questions should I ask? Im completely New to this<br />are these style of boats ez to work on?<br />Im up in the air about getting a I/o Or a out drive is the real difference just a preference on what one likes?<br />any advice would be great!! <br />what years did the cobra drive start? I heard these were the better drives <br /><br />Thanks in advance.
