Beware prowlers of Lake Wylie....
The search for a new motor has finally ended with a purchase this week of a '76 Johnson 75 hp stinger so I will be on the lake again soon. This motor has been babied it's entire life which is evident from the looks of the little boat it's attached to. Got the whole rig 16' tri hull on a nice tilting trailer for $1100. Boat came from Virginia mountains and wasn't located anywhere near a lake. Garage kept and the original owner only used it for vacations. The flywheel on the motor barely showed any wear from the starter and the compression was 150 lbs on all three cylinders with less than 5% leakdown. After an intial run on Lake Jocassee this weekend I will be switching the motor over to the toon for fall fishing and especially for whoopin' up on crackers in crackerland. Theirs been a few fellas on here thats helped me look for a replacement for the last couple months , I appreciate it and look forward to taking all of you out for a nightstalk real soon.
