Hammer, missed your ??? about price. The boat was listed on ebay and didn't meet reserve with a high bid of $1675. It was also on Craigslist at $5k. I contacted the seller and he said he wanted $3k. After seeing it and running the motor I really couldn't argue too much about his asking price. My only concern was with the trailer. Bearings and tires in particular. The seller suggested having it hauled on a ramp truck and offered to knock the cost off the selling price. Sorry I didn't get any pics of it on the truck, it was quite a sight!
Here are some pics of the trailer:
I'm not sure if I should tackle all the hardware right now or just do up the brakes, bearings and tires so I can get the boat in the water ASAP.
Skools, thanks for the common sense solution to the oil injection question. I slapped my forehead when I read that one!
Reelapeeelin, the motor is an '86 "V6 Special". Here is an ad for it...
Yamaha didn't put a HP badge on it but the ad says it's "220HP Plus". As far as I can figure from the Seloc manual it's 2596cc and 220HP.
