TRAILER.I ACQUIRED THIS BOAT WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING IT INTO A CRABBING BOAT. MY BUSINESS IS TAKING OFF AND I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE TIME. THE ENGINE RUNS WELL. I CAN START IT SO YOU CAN HEAR IT RUN. IT NEEDS A LOWER UNIT (MISSING). I WAS TOLD MARINER AND MERCURY ARE THE SAME LOWER UNIT. THE BOAT IS USABLEONCE A LOWER UNITIS INSTALLED, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.THE HULLAND TRANSOM SEEM SOLID. THE SEATS ARE USABLE BUT WEATHERED. I INSTALLED A NEW KEYED STARTER SWITCH SO AS TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE ENGINE. IT STARTS, IDLES AND REVS WELL. COMPRESSION IS GOOD IN ALL THREE CYLINDERS. THE CONTROLS WORK AS THEY SHOULD INCLUDING THE STEERING.THERE IS A FIXED 18 GALLON? GAS TANK IN THE BACK OF THE BOAT.NONE OFTHE GLASS ISCRACKED. THE BOW EYE IS LOOSE. I THINK IT WAS OVER TIGHTENED. TRAILER IS ROAD WORTHY BUT NEEDS TO BE FITTED TO BOAT BETTER. WE TRAILERED IT 25 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS USING RATCHET STRAPS. I DID WAX AND SHINE THE PORT SIDE OF THE BOAT. BUFFED UP PRETTYGOOD.NOW FOR THE HISTORY OF THE BOAT. THE BOAT MOTOR AND TRAILER WERELEFT AT CHURCH FOR10 YEARS BY AN EX-EMPLOYEE WHERE IT SAT. THEY ASKED ME TOREMOVE IT.
