(trying to keep this brief)
Granddaddy bought the boat new in "75 for $4995 with a single axle trailer and 125 Evinrude. Being in poor health sold it to his nephew about 1981. Not receiving payment for some time he asked Daddy to repossess it. Finding the boat without a motor (supposedly blown), Daddy informed Granddaddy and he sent money for a new motor. Daddy bought and installed a new 140 Evinrude ($2200) about 1982. The boat sat for about two years unused till after Granddaddy died and Grandma asked Daddy to sell the boat. Having done all the work he bought it, however the motor had a defect with the piston grooves too close to the top and was now out of warrenty and politely blew the carbs off. Daddy let a childhood friend (Fred) sell the boat to a fishing buddy. Fred's buddy died sometime later and Fred sold it to his son in laws father. Well he died later (about two years ago), so the son in law had the boat unused for this time now with a 150 Mariner on it. A couple weeks ago Fred asked Daddy if he knew anyone interested in the boat, so $700 later it ended up with me.

I think that boat is where it's been tryin' to be since your granddad passed on... ;) :) ...

Re: Specs
 

Well considering the boats 32yrs old, the survival rate of former owners is almost expected.

Re: Specs
 

Sounds like the boat finally found its proper home. *Good luck with her. :)
