Need opinions on motor

[phatdaddy]

see if the guy will let you crank it on the stand & check compression, also check voltage output on the battery(battery should have 1.5/2.0 volts more with engine running )

if you can wait till after thanksgiving, the way prices are going, you can probaly get a ten year old boat motor & trailer for $2500.

They turned down my trade offer so Its a no-go. No worries I'll just continue marching on w/ the 150 Merc.

I emailed the Nida-core guy today to find out when he's coming up my way. I just about got the money to start the transom repair. Pics to follow when I start tearing into it.
