Re: Crash and Burn
Hammer, make the fuel system 100% and don't spend more money for a motor. Sell it w/o power. With fuel prices a 250 might turn off some potential buyers. Don't filll the gas tank, just leave it empty. If you do repower, test run the motor with a portable tank (6 gal) for buyers. Let him fill the tank. The new buyer may have to add Sta Bil to remove any condensation in the spring. I think 235 was the highest BIA hp rating for V20 outboards, not I/O's though. We've discussed this before about insurance issues. If it were me, no power, empty tank and a good fuel system. By the way, attorneys love to hear the term "buyer beware". You can't get sued selling a boat w/no power, but you can if you sell a boat that's unsafe and it blows up. Just my $.02
