Project Boat

[mcvette]

I thinking about doing a project this winter. I have found a 1990 Four Winns 200 Horizen. This boat has been sitting for the last four to five years. The owner says it was winterized before put in storage. The thing that woories me most is the engine. It has a 5.7 OMC with a Cobra outdrive.

The interior is completly shoot and the floors will have to be replaced. It has a pretty good tandem axle trailer and of course the tires are flat. The hull looks good with the exception of oxidation.

I can get it for under a grand. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks to all.

I would try to get for under half a grand. Lot of work, but its your dime and time. Go for it...
