Looks nice and nice single axle trailer. Go for it! Billy Mac ;D

Still inspect her good and if possible a test run.

He wants $3500.00, show up with cash in hand. 3200.00, extra cash for bottom paint and getting her tuned up. Great find. ;)

Looks like a new trailer.

Go do the "transom jump" and test run the motor. *Looks pretty good 2 me.

It is always best to "sea trial", but if you cant, pretend you are on the water, put motor in forward & reverse while its running to make sure gears work, turn the steering. *Sit in the captains chair and look stoic. Open a can of Beenie Weenies and see if you can choke em down while inhaling the 2stroke smoke.

Looks worth every bit of askin'...always helps if you can get 'im down some, but I wouldn't walk away if he's FIRM ;) ...SUGGEST COMPRESSION TEST ON ALL MOTOR'S CYLINDERS AND CHECK FOOT OIL...Sea-trial if ya can...

W/motor tilted up, apply your weight to motor foot and LISTEN for cracking noise...too much and the transom's bad...my old '74 still holds my fat-a$$ w/ only a little bit of noise... ;D ...

So did you decide to buy it ??

Went to check it out today compression is 100,100,100,97 transon seems pretty solid when I did the shake test. I'm not sure if I mentioned it comes with a canvas top in very good condition. I'll post a pic of the top later. I guess I am now a new V owner :o

I'm already starting to think about how I can throw my money away. I'm going to get a power winch (need one due to some health reasons) any suggestions on size or model? I found this one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...;rd=1&rd=1

I should have bought a power winch myself. Thats how I think I pinched the nerve in my neck.

Or was it from Lisa's sex swing :-/ ;D

Thats a nice price for the winch, but the power source, shouldnt that have a plug or something so you can plug it into your power source under the bumper ?? ???
