Plenty to add to that classic:
1. Ran great 5 years ago, parked under tree since.
2. Only needs a $5 part and it would run great
3. The finish just needs some buffing.
4. Floor and stringers are solid, but boat is full of snow, leaves, trash, etc.
5. Metal plate on transom is required because of the high hp outboard.
6. Does close to 70mph, with a chevy 305?
Cars, tools, and construction machinery ads have the same issues, caveat emptor phrase was created in advance for craigslist.
