My new time and money pit.

[Arcticdude]

A couple days ago I uncovered my jet boat and brought it down to the shop to get it ready to take out. Got the batteries charged and greased the hubs. I've got an old 5 hp briggs and stratton outboard that I'm going to put on the boat and use for trolling and safety. The motor needed new fuel lines and primer bulb. Since the main motor is a two stroke and the trolling motor is 4 stroke I need separate gas tanks. I bought this boat mainly for trapping in the rivers around here, but I've never trusted 2 stroke motors. I feel safer with the 5 hp trolling motor on the boat.

Nice, bet you didn‘t get it for the price I got mine.

No, but it's not a money pit either. My cheapest boat was a 1968 SeaRay runabout GIVEN to me by my boss. 90 H.P. Johnson. All I did was refurb the interior for $300 and sold it for $1500.
