Bought a jon boat recently. 1991 Johnson 25hp. Very clean original motor. Guy swore up and down that it was running well in good shape. Of course I didn’t believe this and I’m still happy with the deal. Just amazed by how wrong he was. Carb full of stuff. Wouldn’t run at all. Water pump totally chewed up and gone. Wouldn’t pump water. Interesting thing is, the water pump was original. “Lake ready” is about like “he’s just a friend.”
Buying boats is a whole a different kind of thing than cars in many ways. You have to plan to dig into it in my experience.
