MJ Has a new ??

[macojoe]

Befor I get into this, I want to say THANK YOU TO ALL!!

You guys were great in trying to help me find boatys and that relay you were putting toghter was over the top!!

You guys are turely a great crowd! And I am proud to say you are my friends and that I am a part of this board!!

So now here we go!

MJ has a new??

Thats right ladys and gentelman I have a new bounceing baby

SEA OX
23'
W/A Cuddy
115 gal gas tank *:o
Hydrulic steering
AM & FM CD player
Marine Radio
Garmin 168 GPS Combo unit
FACTORY BRACKET!!!!
Full Encloser, Bimi need repair

Has a 225 Evinrude that is in pretty bad shape eletric wise??
They had wires all over the place?? *
Lower unit prop shaft moves in and out and does not go in reverse unless you hold shaft in??

Turns over great and he also said he spent $2000 getting motor ready last year??
Had top end rebuilt?? *Compression done by CB and eye says other wise.

5 cylinders read 95 to 99 and one reads 118, I think they fixed one cylinder and screwed him on the rest?

So I might try to play with it but I have no plans on running this motor!

As soon as my V sells I wil look for a good used 200 to 250, I want the 250 but all depends what I find out there with the cash at the time??

About $4000 is what I will have to spend.

CB & I and a friend Pete drove about 600 miles this week lookingn at different boats. *And with some cleaning this boat is cherry!!

I was going to bleach her all up and get her like new before telling you guys, but then decided to let you see her at her worse.
Then show you what I have done later!!

So here it is!

Great Find MJ. I like it. 20" shaft motor *??? Looks like all she needs is a real nice clening. What about swapping motors from your V ?? just to get wet ?

Congrats MJ. Hope she serves you well and may the fish follow her around ;D Not only does she hold 117 gallons, but another 12 on deck? ???

I just hooked up and took away with everything inside ;)
