Purchased the boat off Craig's List; an individual. I should have been more careful, but I was lured in by the price, most of these boat go for 10K+; the motor was running good when I purchased it. Xpress boats are very popular around here and I was hoping to use it one season after re-carpeting and installing a new trolling motor and depth finders then sell it.
Got it fixed now, running like a dream, smooth, my mechanic and his team are old timers in the trade. I have been doing business with them for 40+ years.
Yea. I got the shaft this time, thinks guys, just thought I would share my experience with you. Sometimes you win sometimes you loose. This time it cost me $4551. As my Dad use to say "a pig in a poke"
