what ya think about these motors?
a 1978 115 evinrude , 130 psi on each cylinder..rebuilt stater..rebuilt carbs..new fuel lines, pump and solenoid,impellor.. $450 with all controls...guy says it was his old neighbors and sat for years unused till he got it and went through it.....20min drive from me...
next one i'll just quote his email
"I have a
1979
Johnson V4 115 Seahorse (Model 115TL79) that is currently on my old
glastron
bass boat, that has a rotten floor. I am the second owner and have had
the
boat and motor for over 10 years. I have only used this about 10 times
in
the last 10 years (truly !) and have stored it in a carport the last 8.
The
unit comes complete with tilt/trim, stainless prop, stablizer fins,
aluminum
spare prop, and all controls, service manual and parts catalog. The
motor
still runs like a bat outta hell. It shifts well and bottom end is
fine.
Oil is very clean. I have skied behind it and it takes my boat to 47
MPH.
The boat is classic and salvagable, but I don't have the time anymore.
The
trailer is a very sturdy Vanson I beam type, original to the boat and
in
good condition, with good bearings and Bearing Buddies, but may need
tires.
Boat and trailer each have current titles in my name. I am looking to
sell
the entire package to someone like yourself, who can benefit from a
solid
low-hour motor. I had it running just last weekend with muffs.
Compression
betwen 118 and 125 lbs in each cylinder. Looking to get a $1000.
Bring
your truck and tow it home."
i'm thinking i could maybe get a couple hundred bucks for the boat and trailer and maybe offset the price alil... and this one is a 2hr drive from me...second email he said he could take me out on the lake for a test ride in it..if i wanted..
i'm trying to get back on the water again for as cheap as possible lol what ya think is better deal?
