Boston Whaler OUTRAGE

YOU ARE BIDDING ON MY 1973 BOSTON WHALER OUTRAGE WITH TWIN 70 HP YAMAHA ENGINES IT HAS BEEN A PROJECT OF MY FOR A FEW YEARS AND I JUST DONT HAVE TIME TO FINISH IT. FIRST THE BOAT. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICS THE FINISH AND TEAK NEED SOME ATTENTION BUT I DO USE THE BOAT AS IS AND IT IS OPERATIONAL. THERE ARE SOME STRESS CRACKS IN THE FINISH AND IT NEED SOME ELBOW GREASE TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD. THE TEAK NEEDS A LOT OF ATTENTION OR REPLACEMENT. THERE IS NOT MUCH OF IT ON THIS BOAT AND I HAVE SOME OF IT REMOVED. THE CUSHIONS ARE IN DECENT SHAPE. THE FRONT ONES ARE NEW. THE BOTTOM PAINT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION AS WELL. THIS WHALER IS NOT WATERLOGGED AS SOME OF THEM ARE. IT CUTS THRU THE WATER WELL AND RIDES NICE AND SETS WELL IN THE WATER. I REMOVED THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK FROM UNDER THE DECK AND RAN STRINGERS WHERE IT ONCE WAS AND PUT THE COVER BACK. I REPLACED IT WITH A 22 GALLON TANK UNDER THE SEAT AND INSTALLED AN ELECTRIC PRIMING PUMP FOR THE ENGINES.

IT COMES WITH 2 1989 YAMAHA OUTBOARDS THAT ARE OIL INJECTED. THEY BOTH START AND RUN BUT EACH HAVE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO GET THEM RIGHT. THE FIRST ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS FINE BUT LACKS POWER. THE SECOND STARTS AND RUNS STRONG FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WIDE OPEN BUT THEN BOGS DOWN. BOTH SHIFT FORWARD AND REVERSE FINE. ONE OF THE HYDRO TILTS WILL BLEED OFF IF LEFT TILTED AND THE OTHER WORKS GREAT BUT IF IT SETS FOR A WHILE NEEDS A LITTLE PUSH TO GET GOING AND THEN IT WORKS FINE. SOUNDS LIKE ONE NEEDS BLEAD AND ONE NEEDS A SEAL BUT I HAVENT LOOKED INTO IT BECAUSE THEY CAN BE USED AS IS BUT IF I WERE GOIING TO KEEP IT I WOULD FIX IT. IF YOU ARE THE WINING BIDDER I HAVE A 96 JOHNSON 150 IN THE GARAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE PUT BACK TOGETHER THAT I BOUGHT FOR THIS BOAT THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT AS WELL BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION.

THE TRAILER IS A 2000 VENTURE SINGLE AXLE GALVANIZED TRAILER. THE LIGHTS MAY NEED A LITTLE WORK BUT IT IS OTHERWISE OK.. YOU WILL NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN TAG TO PICK UP.. I DONT HAVE ONE TO GO WITH IT.

BUYER MUST PICK UP WITH IN 7 DAYS UNLESS YOU TALK TO ME FIRST. I CAN DELIVER WITHIN 125 MILES FROM MARTINSBURG WV FOR 75CENTS PER MILE BUT THE BOAT AND DELIVERY MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE. IT IS A NICE PROJECT FOR THE RIGHT PERSON BUT IT DOES NEED WORK SO ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE UNSURE AND DONT BIT IF YOU ARENT AT LEAST A LITTLE MECHANICAL OR YOU WILL PROBABLY BE DISAPPOINTED. GOOD LUCK
