Yep, it hopped up on this trailer and tailgated my truck all the way back from NJ...

Actually Capt Pete made me an offer on this '84 I couldn't refuse...and I can't thank him enough for hookin me up...made the offer back in the Spring when he and Michelle came down for the Charleston Get Together and we've been in touch about it from time to time since...transom seems solid, floor decks, bow deck, too...only softy is the gas tank hatch, so like Willy said, this will be a good 1st fiberglass project...

Anyway, THANKS, Pete...oh, and NICE TRAIN set!...!:train:...LMFAO!!...:you:

Did Momma say you could keep it if you promised to feed it and clean up after it? :hi:

Reel is back in the fold. :clap: I guess I don't need to remind you to take lots of progress pics. :beer:

wow you didn't wast any time getting that motor off. Did you tie that thing to your garage to get it off the trailer? It was my pleasure to hook you up with the boat. I know it is in good hands. I didn't know if you liked the train set or not but I will keep you in the loop as I get more. I was thinking about that motor you were telling me about. If it runs good you should just pull the powerhead and keep an eye out on ebay for someone with a similar complete motor that has a blown powerhead. And just swap yours on. I did the same thing just the other way around. Any 150-200 from 1986-1995 and 225 from 1986-1991 will work.

Whew...had me worried, I was afraid I was gonna see a couple pics of Snookie:you:


Lookin GREAT!! More info...what motor? Black Max 200? Looks like a great boat and a fun project

You sly dog. Congratulations. I got a 200 Merc in the barn.
What you gonna name her?
"Reelapeelin III" OR "Retirement Plan" :clap::beer:

nice project, what do you need for that motor? i have the original 83 150 that came on my boat.

I knew you had something going on, you've been too quiet lately. You ready to get that 200 out of my back yard?

The 200 is eggzacklee what I had in mind...I gonna be down in Chucktown not his, but NEXT weekend (31st) and wanna look at that baby....sounds like a good match to me!!...

Nice find Reel. (Thanks for helping him out Pete) Great looking project... hope it all works out. I gotta laugh at the number of people that have extra engines lying around (including my 200 Merc also). Just do me one favor.. PLEASE..support that thing better than it is in the back. Yes, it's the little old worry wart popping his head up again, but one good nudge from a car backing up and that boat is on the ground...hopefully with no one under it. Get some cross timbers under the stern. I want to talk with you, not about you. :head:

didn't you see the cheese under the back support?
