For $1500 and if it runs good, I would say you made out like a bandit. Congrats!
Who said it was running!? I paid for the boat and trailer so didn't put too much value in the motor. Will be replacing fuel lines and filter, spark plugs, and battery and try to get her running soon. Probably will run some seafoam through it and hope the motor doesnt need much.
Update: got the motor running! Cranks fine. Just new fuel lines, filter, plugs, and impeller. A little idle adjustment and she purrs! New carpet from home depot. Got a new garmin echomap finder to install.
Already caught some fish. As my dad assured me - this boat will $100 bill you to death! Oh well!
I’d only buy a mud motor if absolutely required. They suck from a reliablity perspective and require lots of maintenance. I would really look for a four stroke tiller. I’d go flat bottom as well.
