I think we all need some more details, symptoms. Is it stumbling at high speed, has a miss at high speed etc? Has it had a set of new plugs recently? How old is the motor? Do the plug wires etc look good, no cracks etc? Permanent gas tank and if so how old is the gas? Those are the questions that any mechanic is going to ask or anyone on here with a suggestion?

thanks

Please read the following. This motor was on a boat that sat outside for six years. The wiring connections to the battery are not in the best shape and I did not even try to repair. Therefore, I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS MOTOR RUNS OR NOT. If you pull it buy hand it turns and feels like it has solid compression. Lower unit is fine, prop is good. It has wiring harness and controls, key is broken for ignition. MOTOR is complete package, all parts are there. Manual tilt engine, 20 inch shaft.

Located in Dunkirk NY

$175.00 or best offer.

$500.00 for boat only.

would be willing to sell just the boat-or if someone wanted the motor for parts just the motor.

Caught a mixed bag of perch, sunfish, silver bass and rock bass, upper half of the lake, 10 ft of water or less. Good opportunity to take kids over there with the probability of landing something and keeping their interest.

Would be willing to start with selling just the boat.

Boat sold 5/24/12

This is a project package:

The good:

16 ft Blue fin which is in pretty good shape, no dents or real gouges. Once upon a time someone repaired the back two top corner pieces. It needs a new transom. The floor appears solid, below the moss filled carpet, someone laid vinyl, which has saved the plywood, I pulled it back and it looks new. Console is in tact, plastic windshield is fine side panels are there, pedestals for the seats are there. Boat is 1980.

1981 EZ loader roller trailer-brand new tires put on a month ago. 1500 lb capacity.

The bad:

1977 Mercury 40 hp, cannot get it to do anything so no determination as to its status, could be sold off for parts.

$950.00 or best offer-good boat to re-do for winter fishing or whatever.

Please contact me with questions or for any other pictures you may want. Located in Dunkirk NY.

Johnson 9.9 outboard. This is a short shaft in excellent running condition and in excellent cosmetic shape. About as close to perfect as you can get. Located in Dunkirk, NY

Asking $650.00 or best offer.

Take it to a shop that does aluminum welding and have them weld it. Have had to do the same with 2 boats that I have had, is the easiest and for sure way of solving the issue.

On a 56 Crestliner I needed to replace some other wood besides the transom, the only way to do it was to buy two to make the width.

2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS 4x4 , tan cloth interior, factory receiver hitch. I bought this used with 12,000 miles on it in July 2005. It currently has about 106,700 on it. As I have a 50 mile daily commute, it has highway miles on it. I have repair records which include recent brakes all around, tie rod ends, ball joints, transmission line replacement, bearings etc. No dash lights on. It has been primarily my main vehicle with usually just me in it, no dogs, no carting children etc. No smoking in it as well. It has had every maintenance need addressed when needed, including touching up the door bottoms for example. No rust or body damage. This one stands out among used Trailblazers. Asking $7200 or best offer. Located in Dunkirk NY.

Just finished switching out a cable and I have seen this before, often times you need to loosen or move the engine because there is not enough room or give to get that cable disconnected and out.

I am in favor of less government intervention, but if this course could be offered on line or in a number of other ways, I am in favor. Money should go to a facility improvement fund(boat ramps, public marinas etc). Most of us who are NY residents, had to do this to operate a boat when we were under 16 way back when.

Most of the vinyl is good, not cracked etc. A little strategic repair will likely get a decade more of use. Floor is solid.
