I found this on craigslist a few weeks ago, and made a purchase. It has an 40 HP '81 Mariner on the back, and a 40 lb minn kota on the front.
I took it out on the lake, and it seemed to run good. I did get some water in it, but alot of it came from a bad hose in the livewell drain. I ran the bilge for a 30 seconds or so and it was good. When i checked it the after it had been sitting overnight, there was some more water in it, but running the bilge for a few seconds took care of it. So I assume i will fill it with a little water and find the leaky rivets and try and pound on them a little. It also had a bad spot in the floor. I ripped up the floor and of course the current floor was over an older floor that was mush.
