Hello All,
I purchased my boat back in June last year. It came mounted with a 1986 Johnson 150 VRO outboard. As a first time boat owner, but experienced mechanic - I applied some 'common sense' when looking at the boat before I bought it. Ran the engine, had a look around the trim etc. My summary was that it needed a bit of tidying up, but was priced accordingly so I decided to give it a go.
A month or so after owning it, I started to delve into it... that's when I noticed lots of things I'd hoped not to find. Here's some photos of how I purchased it, to how it is now...
