thank you blue yep i going to order a new pump today was told the same at the marina and the previous owner did run in salt water and he let it sit for at least a year. also looking to find out what to coat the top of the boat were i believe the gelcoat is gone cause fiberglass is making me break out. it don't look bad a little dull but i was wondering about a clear coat or something along that line. i have to get pic up cause the previous owner had a box made that puts the motor 3 ft off the transiom as well the transom was repaired as well but with this stuff you dig the wood out and pour in it seems strong and I read were other people have used it and liked it but i don't know if I would ever go off shore with it like that but it just fine were i'm at here on the red river. plus i plan on taking the 235 off and putting it on my checkmate and putting the 150 sazuki back on the wellcraft
, the checkmate would be more fun with the extra ponies and the welcraft don't need to be that fast to fish. james boyd
