What a pig

[ludacrous999b]

I recently bought a boat like that, I only paid around $400 US. That guy is insane if he thinks he is going to get out from under that boat, I know he wouldn't be listing it for that much unless he had to get his money back out of it. With everything you said is wrong with that boat it sounds like the only money put into it was what HE paid for it outright. Lucky you looked it over beforehand!

by the way he said it was a 165hp it had a engine oil cooler on it and a alternator did not say 165 on valve cover 2bbl carb too

aussie, g,day....you'll find the right boat in due time, just may have to come by way of the good ol USA. I've got a question, where is Rockbank? I was "walkabout" in Oz a few years back....got around to some cool towns and other smaller cities. Mostly up and down your east coast....best trip I ever had..... and you blokes know how to have a good time!

165 hp 3.7 would have said 3.7L on valve cover or flame arrestor cover. 3.7LX would have been 180 hp 4 bbl version

I would say yes....After Australia, California is 2nd in high prices on boats. these boats were made in FL on the east coast US....they are much more common and therefore cheaper on the east coast as compared to the West Coast.....I would guess shipping from California would be cheaper though.

that was probably the power steering cooler you saw, was it vertically mounted on the rear port side? The engine oil coller is made into the bottom of the intake manifold on the 4bbl engines, it has external hoses that goo to where hte oil filter is mounted. There may have been some 2 bbl versions with oil coolers, but I've never seen one.
