    Default Nice life on a old boat


    Started refurbing my haul last year. Bow season put a stop to it but i got back at it this month. Started it out by replacing an old wore out trailer with a new ez track. Painted the boat, got the livewell working again, new carpet. Sweet ride except one thing.... the ole 9.9 sittin on the back. Been looking for motors for a while. Lucked up Saturday and got a nice Yamaha 25hp 2 stroke for a pretty good price. Put her in the water today and this motor runs as great as it looks! I ran the motor most the day but i did drop in a couple brush piles and caught 4 dinks and a keeper.... but i was to busy playing with my new toy! Tight lines!

    Looks like you did a fine job on your refurb. Nice clean looking motor and great trailer. You must have been over to see BRM.

    Brm, yes sir he does. That thing is made right. Real heavy duty. Thanks again.
    Dockshooter, thanks. I was days away from pulling the trigger on a new 4 stroke. Ive been watching craigslist for a year trying to find a clean 2 stroke. A nissan this clean came through there a while back and i didn't hop on it and regretted it later. Couldn't let this one pass.
    Yes sir cray, brm hooked me up with that trailer last year and i couldn't be happier. Thanks.
    emc, I used this stuff. You can get it at walmart. 2nd time iv painted it in 10 years. Don't skimp on the prep work and it should turn out great. I used a grinder with wire brush to knock the old paint off. Good luck.
