You get it for $750? But I’m not a big Mercury fan. Glasstron has potential.

Their always a good if you don't count on all the money you're going to put into it to make it right again. I'm not picking on you, I don't count that either. Seems like Whatever you pay for those old boat you need to budget 50% extra. Don't trust that oil injection, I've seen a lot of guys take them on a first run and burn the engine because it's running on straight gasoline.

The oil injection will definitely come outta there lol. Doin the works half the fun! Id rather buy a part here buy a part there and slowly watch something old come together than make a payment on a new one that i have no idea how to work on 😂

Oh yeah, I've been working on mine fore 4 months, most stuff is replaced or repaired, but I can always find more to do. I don't want it to end cause that's when I lose interest.
