Congrats friend. Enjoy the fuck out of it !
Is a good time, wish I were there. Nice boat, hell of a deal. That engine likes high octane (crap fuel can cause detonation that can eat pistons), keep good oil in the lower end, a new water pump impeller every 2 years. Last a long time. My personal recommendation is amsoil synthetic for all needs. I’ve seen original engines last 30plus years without any repairs neeeded, and they were run HARD. It’s not advised to change a ball with wrenches, they tend to come loose and fall off. A solid 1/2” impact gun is the way to put them on unless it’s in a pinch.
Looks like sum good fish'n
Hell of a deal on that boat. 1500 with the outboard and trailer is great.
May there be many fish in your future!
Do you eat any?
Sometimes I will fillet them up. Salt water soak overnight. Dip in egg and batter with flour, cayenne & black pepper, and salt. Fried in butter or lard or both.
