Re: I need help really bad!!!!!!!

Is that a ford motor? cause i put a new head gasket on it... so i told the people at the auto parts store it was motor out of a 1988 ford ranger...was that a mistake? I paid 200 hundred bucks for the boat....did i get a good deal?thanks a bunch for your help!!!!!!

Re: I need help really bad!!!!!!!

The deal you got depends on how mechanically inclined you are, how patient you are and/or how masochistic you are

A Ford engine coupled with an OMC Cobra is a pretty bleak combination. Neither one are in the boat business anymore. Good luck.

Ford 2.3L

$200 is about right. It is worth much more in pieces. Could get $1000 for the drive if it is in decent shape. As a whole, a 2.3 powered boat isn't worth much.

If it runs and you can get a season of use out of it then it was worth the 200 bucks.
If not part it out on Ebay...you will get your money back.
I would not invest much in it if it does not run.
