New to the forum and to boating.

I recently acquired an old RichLine 16ft V-Bottom.

It has a 1964 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp engine with electric start.

I managed to get the leaves cleaned out of it yesterday and even found an old can of 2-cycle oil!

Its gonna need a lil work, but it was running maybe 5 years ago. The motor seems to have great compression.
 
Thanks everyone.

Really excited about this boat. Cant wait to get it out on the water!
 
Well, got the wild hair today to see if it would start. Cleaned the dirt dobber nests off from around the carb with some carb cleaner. Then shot some ether in the carb. It busted right off! So excited.

Noticed the greasy crud around the prop. Probably a seal, right?
