if the price has scared anyone, the book values were anywhere from $1000 to $1600 and i'm not sure how accurate that is. i need to sell it because i bought a 60 which i had intended to do after i bought the boat. as far as i can tell, there is nothing wrong with the motor. the skeg doesn't even have any gouges or bad places which is rare for a boat that old. if someone, or someone you know wants it, make me a reasonable offer. i could meet you if you don't live in the laurens county area. if anyone thinks i'm asking too much let me know.
