[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 55350, member: 751"] Sorry I haven't updated in a while.Here's the deal.I have been working on the Gamefisher 5HP and the Minn Kota 3HP trolling motor.I just posted my trolling motor repair thread.I'm about half done with both motors.I have stalled on the boat because I can't find any 1.25x1.25x1/8 aluminum angle locally.The stuff at Lowe's is nearly $30 for an 8' stick of it.Just to much. Here's a break down of what I have got in the boat. $300 for the boat.I bought it new in 1992 $40 for the new HIN,title,and registration. $15 in gas to pick the boat up from the farm where I left it. $3.12 for a spark plug for the 5HP Gamefisher. $5.50 for 2 fuel filters for the Gamefisher.1 for the external tank and 1 for the internal tank. $1.70 for 2 feet of 1/4 inch fuel line for the Game fisher. $10 in gas to pick up the free Gamefisher outboard. = $375.32 This is the cash out put so far.The free trolling motor didn't cost any thing in gas because it was handed to me as I was loading the boat up to bring it back home.I will have to put out about $35 for brushes and an upgraded aluminum prop.The prop upgrade is a few dollars more than a direct plastic replacement.This is assuming the control's circuit board is good. :roll: [/QUOTE]
