    Looks like a pretty nice little boat. Be a great project that I bet don’t take much. Spark plug and shot of gas and I bet she would fire.

    I would do like Cray said. Empty out gas tank and install new. Change spark plugs and put a set of water ear muffs on it and see if it will fire up. Make sure to see if you are getting a steady stream from the water pump because it will probably need to be replaced.

    If it does not get going there is a guy on M hwy by flat mo. He knows them older motors inside and out. I believe its Gary's. Be a bit of a drive but hey everyone needs a road trip.

    I would buy new wheels and tires already mounted. Cheap and everyone has em. Pretty much just need to pick a 13 inch with the right bolt pattern. 12 inch tires would work fine too.
    I'd start at academy sports.

    Looks like a 1973 sportwin motor.

    Trying to figure the age of the lowe line boat...

    Best I can tell the last time this boat was on water was 2010. Originally we were talking trade but I declined trading my sander for the boat.
