Fantastic find I'd say....boat looks pretty darn good sitting on the trailer from what I can see. I recognize your screen name from Iboats......I think you do have something like a gazillion posts. Welcome to the madness. Cant wait to see some more pics

cool boat by the way.Im not an outboard mechanic but if your lower compression on a cylinder is 135 psi and the top end compression is 156 psi then your not with in 10% so thats not good for the motor.

nope not ideal but it's not uncommon for an engine that has set for an extended period to get better with some run time..... I haven't rechecked yet but it has gone from missing and shaking to running very smooth so I suspect that it's already improved.... I just made a deal with a guy for another 115 tonight... a 79 power trim model so I now have more options.... guess I'll be selling the CMC after all.

Great find there Smoke. Love the old tower of power Mercs. Boat looks great. Where you gonna be boating on the Ohio River. I generally take a couple runs in the fall season between Lawrenceburg, IN and Cincinnati, OH or Madison, IN area.

You are not gonna have any money in that rig at all. LOL Making the rest of us look like we been duped something fierce. Nice score indeed. Your boat looks real nice. I have a few miscellaneous items in the shed. Deck plates, battery trays, maybe a gauge or two. I think the handrail will fit after seeing the pictures. Bust Out Another Ten. instead of Thousand. That is refreshing, Way to go. I'm thinking twin towers o power...
