[QUOTE="JGibson, post: 420513, member: 9445"] I bought this boat, motor & trailer for $600 last week. Motor started on first crank. My plan is to add a couple of decks and a floor as time/work allows. I can't seem to find anything on the motor other than a Manual serial number to find out exactly what year it is so maybe someone here can help? The Boat: [img]https://i64.tinypic.com/2r7uhaf.jpg[/img] Motor: [img]https://i68.tinypic.com/2rhaeqe.jpg[/img] Before Teardown: [img]https://i67.tinypic.com/2dc7588.jpg[/img] After: [img]https://i67.tinypic.com/35k3nep.jpg[/img] [img]https://i66.tinypic.com/4snxog.jpg[/img] [img]https://i68.tinypic.com/fxq6xh.jpg[/img] I've been looking around for some ideas and found a few here. I plan to strip all the paint from this boat, seal every seam and rivet, repaint before I ever put it in the water. Prob will do the same to the motor, replace the vitals (Impeller, Plugs, etc.) repaint it. Gonna take me a minute but it should be fun. Input welcomed, links to info, other v bottom builds, anything that will help or give me ideas. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
