That's true.... I guess it has been some time that these motors have been
subjected the elements now, inside and out. Seems like such a waste though
that all these newer boats and motors are just trash now. I seen a 19' 2004
Ranger Reata with a 200 HP 4 stroke ( thought it was a 150)with some damage
for $1200.00, and the motor was said to be siezed up, and the hull had a few
scrapes on it, nothing major, is why I was asking. I guess I had my head in
the clouds a bit dreaming of a newer bass boat. Just not at the expense of a
whole new motor AND all the cosmetics it will need.

Thanks just the same though for taking the time,

Doug

P.S.

Anyone else getting cabin fever?? I've been out a couple times, but not
enough to keep my sanity I'm afraid

I think the major problem with the motors, is they have been setting a
long time after sinking. So lots of time for rust to work it's magic.
