Re: purchase contemplation
Laurence,
The quickest way to get some meaningful answers is to post a few pics!
You said this:
The motor conversion is said to be prfessional and looks it to. In addition to the two foot outboard mount they also installed a couple of stainless steel chains with turnbuckles between the I/O mounts and the outboard brackets on the inside of the transsom.
I never heard of using chains to bolster the bracket! Could mean that the transom itself needs some help? If you could post a pic or two it would help.
$7500 is a decent price if it truly has a brand new motor, newer trailer and all decks, hatches and transom etc are absolutely solid.
If the motor was purchased in 2003 brand new in the box - is there a warranty? Reciepts of purchase/ bracket conversion?
If the motor is not what it is advertised to be - NEW and you can see yourself doing alot of work on the decks, transom gelcoat etc - then 3-5 K would be a proper price depending on condition.
