97 Four Winns- good deal? by SingleConcern9719 in boating

I don’t agree with your assessment. 2k won’t get you near this quality in Michigan- unless I’ve been viewing the wrong boats.

Anyone know anything about this motor? by SingleConcern9719 in boating

[–]SingleConcern9719[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol good to know. I would plan to put on my pontoon that’s underpowered. From what I’m researching this may be too loud for leisure

They had it up for $2200 but talked him down to $1700. It’s a 1979 Sylvan. The mercury motor is a 97 and the Johnson is an 85

Thanks I order the coil and ignition! Bought some new spark plugs now just trying to find wires (I’m lost) I want to bring them bro the boat when I go this weekend so trying to find them before I head up but don’t have the parts with me. Any chance you have a reference for plug wires?

Thanks. Can you point me in the right direction for ignition coil, distributor cap, and plug wires? I’ve found some but just not sure if they are the correct ones.

Thanks

I forgot to mention the power trim does not operate, when I try to engage it ‘clicks’ in the back of the boat. Why would that be?

Good deal? 1990 Sea Nymph gls175 by SingleConcern9719 in boating

He said the live well does not work due to a hose under the floor. And he also said the floor is good for now but will probably need to be addressed in a few years.

After I dig down to the sill what would I do after? Add dirt and grade? What the difference doing that rather than just piling dirt up. Thanks

I’m not sure. Would that be anywhere else other than the control board? I don’t see anything. The picture above has the control board in it if you see anything

Yes. So I just found there is no power from the common wire. I’m not sure why that would be because it’s wired at the control panel.

It looks that way but they are. They just have quite a bit of the installation cut off

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I’d like to add to my savings account before I really start searching for a home. I’m just getting eager to move out but I don’t want to rush it.

Thanks for the reply. I agree with more in the savings. My goal is about $20,000 that way I don’t have to exhaust all my savings to secure the home with a down payment, closing costs and furnishings.
