I have had my 16' MirroCraft sitting in the driveway for a few years (before that it was sitting in my brother-in-law's backyard. Boat has not run since 1998 or 1999. It has a 25 hp Evinrude and console steering, lots of rod holder and 4 swivel seats - no deck (yet)
This year I decided that I would get it going and use it - it is a great back bay and river boat, nice wide beam at 61" and a modified V so it ride very nice.
Anyway, I went out this morning and shot a 50/50 oil gas mixture in each cylinder (pulled the plugs) - waited about and hour and cranked the motor (plugs still out) - cranked perfectly!
I am gonna start it Sunday.
A few more minor touch ups and I am ready to go
