Re: VA. V For Sale
Did you do a compression test on the motor?? Thats about the best test you can do to see what shape she is in.
did you remove the lower unit oil plug to make sure it had oil and not water?? How did it idle on the hose? Did you let it run for lets say 10 min and feel the pisser water, to make sure she wasn't getting hot?
Used motors are always a crap shot at best!! But if you get a season or two, then you can decide on what you want to do. Or it may last you 10 years??
But at least you know you have a great hull thats worth re powering at sometime!!!!
Good Luck!!
Good Luck!
