Staggard I think has something to do with it. You also have to get the dead drive out of the water and get on the other throttle pretty goos. I did it as an experiment when I lost an engine.

Not healthy for it I don't think. Wasn't much gas left either.

Looks nice but not much of a description and more pics needed !!!!! Those risers definatly haven't been off in a while. If it's in ft myers area I have a bud there that owes me a favor and is a merc tech @ nor tech.

According to the broker they are 500 hr engines and have never had a bolt turned. THat along with no trailer makes it need to be a little more negotiable in the price category. But it has potential.

We will be in Sarasota so Ft Myers is not that further south from there. I will keep an eye on this thread and if nothing has happened for you I will pm my number and we could set up a time to look it over for you during that week if you would like.
