Well, it ran like a top. Did a 30 minute run. After dealing with a dead battery on the launch before getting it going. Ran perfect, idled down as nice as a 20 year 2 stroke should. Only brought it up to ~3/4 throttle and 35mph. I have to get used to how it handles. So just the test run and back to the launch to complete the deal. The boat is now snug in my garage, waiting for it's first 'real' day on the water.
I will check out the oil, thanks for that.
It has a bit 'stabilizer' fin thing bolted onto the cavitation plate which I could feel biting in the turns. Not sure I like it there. I might take it off and mount one of those Minn Kota engine mount motors for lake trolling without having to mount a kicker.
Anyhoo, onto the pics. It is in good shape all around, came with all the original manuals etc. I think the wife and little one will enjoy the 'non-fishy' nature of the boat.
