Don't most I/O manifolds also manage to keep water in them if you don't winterize (drain) them too? Making them susceptible to freeze cracks too?

Yep.

I wonder what he's doing with the stern drive.

Maybe Boats-A-lots was kidding, those are the bat-wing style stay-away-from-or-replace-as-soon-as-you-can exhaust manifolds... :confused:

That's the same motor and exhaust I have. Owned it since 1989, never had a problem. I do drain them after every use. My 4.3 has the heat exchanger (antifreeze cooled) with cabin heat.

Oddly, I never thought about a boat having power steering until I bought mine. There is a huge difference with and with out. I can see this also has power steering.

Well they certainly did something to the transom.

Very solid old boat. the transome has been reinforced. it wont budge, there are no cracks in it. hand layed hull.
The hull has no chips in it or holes. very solid
one soft spot in the floor. the rest is solid.
Has a live well in the front.
Seats are in good shape.
Ready for a motor !
the trailer is very nice, has good tires.

Too funny, that guy spent some time on that ad. :lol:

Yes but there will most certainly be some buyer that will ask him to send about 50 more pictures and to hold the boat until friday.

I thought this was funny because of all the labeling in the pictures.

Pontoon Boat

Funny, but could be effective. Visually answers some typical questions & could drum up some interest. The trailer looks a little tenuous though, despite the "hitch lock included"! :D
