i prefer to buy older boats and clean'em up.. have fun with your project.
Just bought a 1980 Avenger (not so much of a ***boat at the moment). Kind of a project its got a merc. "dinosaur" 140 on it :hammer2: .
i am building another motor for it already but just bought it today, so i was stoked and had to say something to somebody.
It's gonna be a kinda retro-resto deal, should be great by next season, but i'll run the crap out of it the rest of this year.

...it didnt take long to "run the crap out of it", about 30 mins to be exact. had a little wiring problem so it was a short lake trip. poking around the enigne i took out the spark plugs and UH OH. :hammerhea
good thing i got that other 2 liter 175 HP almost done.
