Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

It's only about 250 miles from me, and yes I'm watching it closely. Mine has turned into a MUCH bigger project than I anticapated so I'd rather get one needing less work. But there is some things about it that concern me.

1. The transom looks wet around the port lower engine mounting hole. Could be a sign of the transom having some saturation.

2. I sent the guy some questions on FRIDAY and he has yet to respond to the ones where I asked about the transom and floor having any soft spots, delamination, saturation or cracking. This gives me a bad feeling about this seller. He responded to my other questions, but not this one. And he has posted the answers to many other questions since then.

I just asked the same question, just to see if he answers me??
My be he is just sick of your questions!! :P ;) ;D

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

I've only sent him 2 different messages through E-bay, the first one was what type of controls and the second was about the transom and floor. I just sent him one to see if he'll let me come take a look at it. It aint that far of a drive for me really, and mine needs alot of work. I'd like to get in some winter grouper fishing this year, but all of my boats that can go offshore are project boats >:(.

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

I just emailed teh guy the same questions about the transom and floor. Lets see if he responds. ;D

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

He's answering the simple questions, but hasn't seemed to have responded to the biggies. Maybe his feedback is appropriate? I hope not, I want to get some fishing in this winter still. I've got a line on a NICE 90 200HP EVINRUDE for $2500(can probably get him for less).

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

that's way to much for a 1990 200 not worth over $1100

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

It was a mostly freshwater motor. Very clean no corrosion. And comes with a 30 day warranty. And I don't know about your area, but here in FL these V-6 JOHNNY-RUDES are still fetching a pretty penny. And NADA put it around $2800 I believe when I run it.

He replied back to me with one sentence :
