Decent Boat.

Came across this today I thought it might interest some. I know it's a long ways away but it's not that bad of a trip might be worth it.

omc drive, with penta manifolds,that boat would need a pod

I'm always leary about a rebuild, especially when I don't know the shop that did the work.

What are people thoughts on the reliability of the Volvo Penta driveline?

it is not a penta driveline it is a old omc c drive, i am suspect of the mechanic looking at the risers and the stack of spacer nuts on the riser bolts, looks like a hack

Kinda scary how he pained everything blue sort of lipstick on a pig...... guess couldnt find shorter bolts then that ..your not going to have a good seat doing stuff like that especially where its important.

I always wonder why someone would need to rebuild an engine with such low hours as well. The add says the boat has 800 hrs on it. If so why would the engine need to be rebuilt at those hrs. 800 hrs on an inboard should reallly be nothing.
All good points coming in, a guy learns a lot on posts like this. Good eye gentlemen.

This guy is about 20 minutes from me. Should I go do an inspection?

I'm sure at least 79 guys would be interested in what you had to report,lol.

 

[Prairie Locked]

Well, I need an audience of at least 80... Lol

Maybe I'll show up with an official 'SFBC badge' and say that "we've had some complaints about your vessel"

 

[Wild Bill]

Close to me too. Probably didn't know you have to drain the cooling system before it freezes. Raw water cooled too.

Located in St.Albert. Maybe we could hook up for some local fishing? I launch in the NSR frequently, one just down the road from you

Not to hijack the thread, we can P.M!

I never understood people selling boats and not posting proper pictures in their add. That boat could generate some interest with a few more pics.

 

[Wild Bill]

Yeah me neither.. That last one is one he emailed me and is probably one of the better ones although sideways. He said he could get more however the boat is only about 10 minutes away from me.

That would be a wicked boat if it had a full soft top. Kid looks sad to sell it
