car guys take stuff on trade...

because they are car guys....they often dont know the going price for other inventory and just want a quick sell.

Unless someone really put allot of polish to a t**d, that looks like a can't loose deal.

Go quickly!!! And while your at it, find out about the white Monte Carlo SS its parked next to for me...

Well I bought it! Assuming it runs when we put it in the water. I'll need allot of help as to how to get it ready for the water though. I'll be on the newbie forums often! Thanks guys

Re: Great deal or smells fishy?!

looked like a quarter size chunk missing from one prop blade--check it out- may need a little fine tuneing to be awsome!
do all maintance items.

Plenty of us boat-heads on here and in the great land of beer and cheese willing to give you a hand. Nice score

I think it was just the way the picture was taken, but the prop looks in decent shape, no large chunks missing, just a few dings. Since I bought this from a car guy, I'd just assume have you guys tell me how to 'de-winterize' a boat. If its fairly simple I'll do it myself but if not I will take it to the marine. What needs to be done?
