OUTBOARD TURNS OVER BUT NOT CURRENTLY STARTING
I have owned and fished out of this boat since 2016, so it can be made to run, there is nothing critically wrong with it.
It's just an OLD carbureted outboard so it's finicky about starting if not run regularly.
Nothing ever broke, it just sat.
So if it's anything like every other summer I ran it, now it needs a new hot battery or a jump while you monkey with getting the air/fuel mix right.
When it runs, it runs, does about 40mph on the top end.
I ran this boat with this motor anywhere I wanted to go on Lake Allatoona for 8 years, and I only had to trolling motor home twice.
That's the best description I can give you for how the motor runs.
I'm valuing the motor at $0 in posted sale price, because I'd like it gone, and since to be "tournament-ready" you'd pretty much want to re-power with a newer motor.
If in the process of cleaning it up for sale I get it running consistently, I will remove this paragraph and reflect that in the posted price.
Trim cylinder fluid leaks and requires occasional topping up.
Back left trailer tail light is out.
I'd rather have this than a 14 foot aluminum john boat, that's why I did.
