1992 with a 115 Yamaha. Motor is takin’ a sh!t this year. I’m gonna try and dump it this year. Coming out next weekend. Needs a bit. I’m gonna take whatever.

Dump the boat or dump the engine?
What is wrong with the motor? 4 stroke? I don't like 4 strokes or EVs

Still have mine. ‘86 (maybe ‘85 - can’t remember), 170 I/O. Hasn’t been out for a few years - finally cleaning out shop to get it in and work on it. Long story short, it was overheating because I let the impeller get old and crumble. Got that fixed and almost rammed a shiny new boat at the dock because the choke stuck. Even Spare hasn’t been able to source a replacement part, other stuff took over and the boat’s been sitting. I’m thinking I may have to find a really long choke cable and rig it for manual choke.

I thought it was about ocean ready: new alternator, water pump fixed, new hot ignition, new 15 horse kicker for backup power (which I used several times during the overheating episodes), newer GPS/sonar, etc. I have a couple of fishing buddies with boats, but I really miss the great ride of the V.

Still here, still have my '87 cuddy. 200 v8 i/o and its in the process of a full restoration. It's actually being re gel koted as we speak. I went with white bottom, Sea Hunt's Slate Blue for the mid section and Wellcraft's Off-White for the top side. getting it back soon, then putting it all back together.
