DMOORE YOU ROCK!

Very cool....that explains the cowling. Didn't know if maybe the year model on the motor was a typo or somehting so this explains it. Chalk up another win for the V20(1) brotherhood! Here here...

Ok Andy here are your pics...........This V is solid throughout but will need some TLC to shine.....I removed the engine cowl so you could get a better idea of the motor condition...since outward appearance doesn't always tell the whole story rule number one when buying a used outboard motor would be to ask for a compression check...I don't know if this has been done but I believe Matt stated in the Craigslist ad that the compression was in fact good. There is some cracking of the gelcoat at the bow flare areas of which I documented,also a small area on the port aft gunnel where the gelcoat has worn thru, not a deal breaker by no means....like I said some TLC is needed like any fiberglass boat that is upwards of 32 years old....

Trailer is sized correctly for an outboard powered boat of this size & weight and has one year old axle installed..trailer tires look very road worthy with no apparent blemishes.

All the glass & windshield look to be in very good shape...I did not unfold the bimini top but what I did see appeared to be in good condition.

If I missed any areas that are of concern let me know and I will get those posted up. Dave

She was born and still had a 165 Mercruiser (250 straight six Chevy)I replaced the tired engine with a Jasper unit.....replaced the complete sterndrive unit with a Sterndrive Engineering assy...they are out of Fla......I guess they are still around...the only problem with that outdrive which I called and complained about was the poor paint adhesion...the short time I used before selling it had started to bubble around most of the edges...they admitted to the problem saying some units were painted during heavy Fla humidity,,,,Gee I thought that was normal down there! Hmmmmm, maybe I'll google em and see if their still around.....anyone heard of em?? D
