I just bought a "83" Mirrocraft Deep Fisherman 14ft with an "81" Evinrude 25hp. The cowl on the motor is/was rotting away from the desert sun. I roughly applied some fiberglass and resin for now till it cures and I get back from vacation.
The priorities are impeller change, wheel bearings, strip and paint trailer, seats, and finish the cowl.
This thing has been on the water once in the last 10 years. The previous owner replaced all of the rubber parts on the motor last year, other than the impeller. :roll:
It didn't come with a fuel tank which is okay. I bought a tank/ fuel line and hooked it up. Three pulls and it started! (in a trash can of water) Runs like a top and the water pump works, but I don't trust it. This takes a great deal of stress off me =D>
This package cost $850, which is a good deal around here.
