Super excited to have purchased my 1st boat. It's a 1984 Smoker Craft 14 footer. It's a little rough but not a bad Craigslist find for $160.00. The guy who sold it to me also had a Merc 9.9 for sale but had a pending sale on it. He said that if the sale didn't fall through I'm next in line...

Thanks in advance
1st post done...many more to come :lol:
