I bought this 1986 open bow in 2016 for $1000.
My boy wanted to try wakeboarding.
Added a wakeboard tower/rack and sun shade.
Repaired a soft spot in the floor and installed new carpet.
Rebuilt and reupholstered the seats.
New head gasket (reason they were selling)
Upgraded to electronic distributor.
Tuned the carb
New bellows (2022)

Figure I got <$2000  in it total.

It's dated, but is perfect for the amount of time we actually use it.
The boat is stored indoors whenever its not in the water.
I see sooo many boats sitting outside in the weather...  Nothing kills them faster...

Thats the absolute truth. Everyone is amazed how old our Honda jetskis (2005) are and they're mint. Always garaged.  Zero sun fade or stains.

cool.  i guess if im going to go IO i want something i have a chance of just bolting an LS to and ditching the POS thing it came with


i know there are seals and bellows and water pump crap that are probably shot meh

would really just rather an outboard motor setup that can be serviced or swapped as a unit   i have never owned anything larger than a 25hp outboard though

and currently own an 18hp evenrude im sure would fire right up and might need a new impeler from sitting for 15 years in my moms basement.  1964 unit my grandfather bought new, was passed down to me. ran it for a few years on a fishing boat in my teens, and then ran on an 8' hydro in my 20s for a bit.

this guy says asking 600 for a 60hp Merc that should run  (plus a boat and trailer no papers)

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/888049602632965/ 

looks like a good swap or parts unit for this guy

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/544739660529179/ 


so many choices

asked if this guy was interested in a jeep or delivery sedan for trade negotiations lol

i really would like a bigger heavier boat honestly so towing 4hrs with my mom/aunt/uncle is less of a dump truck ride in my 4500 lol 
hopes to hit family cottage once this summer before everyone dies and its sold off havent been there in decades.

looks like minor and major rebuild kits are available and reasonable for berkley jet drives

150$ for and LS adaptor to 1350 spicer parts that bolt to drive input
seats?  some wood and glass, mount work

i have that 5.3 big cam motor that would be fine and sound pretty nasty


lister says it does have a HIN plate, looks like its easy to get papers in NY for boat, trailer not so sure.
