NEW LEAD *???

Blast from the past. ;D

I remember this ad from my search last summer.

My gut feeling was that this is a 20 + year old boat with a big (yeah 200 is big) motor that has been beat on relentlessly - waterskiing and tubing on this vacation lake. The boat already needed rebuilding (repairs) years ago, and is about shot now. The motor is probably as worn out as a motor can be, from a million and one hole shots. :(

Yeah, it would be swell to get a cherry freshwater boat like Mac did :), but this ain't it. :'(

CPK, sorry for sounding so pessimistic, but that is/was my honest impression of this ad. If you really feel like burning gas for 5 hours, do yourself a favor and have the salesman call you with the boat VIN # and the motor model and serial # BEFORE you make the trip. That way you will at least know for sure what year the stuff is. :-/
