Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.
have a 1990 16' conquest runabout i/o. It has a 2.3 liter with some new parts. Has a new starter, new fuel pump, new belts and new timing belt.
we tested it this summer and idled fine but in the water just didn't have the rpm. Started the motor this past week and started right up and idled fine. I'm no mechanic and don't pretend to be one either, so i asked and i was told it could be the timing is off or the carburetor needs adjusted, I'm not sure so its time to go. The interior is a little sun beat but not horrible as you see in the pics. The trailer also has some damage on the driver side wheel well, but still pulls fine. This could be a great fixer upper or used as parts. The out drive omc unit alone is worth up to $1500.00 and the motor is worth $400.00 or more. It has clean titles for the boat and trailer. I'm asking $500.00 obo, This is a great deal and you cant go wrong! All together the boat and trailer as a whole is worth more than $500.00. This is a phenomenal deal. It has not been winterized yet (This is Indianapolis Indiana and almost December! ) , so i can demo the motor working! Thx for looking. Open to ideas for TRADES, I'm interested in a snowmobile, 4-wheeler, golf cart, camper, small car, Old farm tractors, Garden tractor with tiller attachment, log splitter, also interested in Bang Bangs! Partial trades with cash welcomed as well! Whatever your considering trading, make sure its of equal value of the boat! In my opinion, the boat is well worth more than $500.00. Send me an email! The worst i can say is no. Need this gone!
