How much would it cost to install a motor and controls, just a rough guess cause I don't have a clue. Say about a 200 or 250 motor. Boat would be a center console.

Call WB he should know
Well they wanted 1600 to put steering cables in his boat, could be high.
Last week they asked a friend of mine $500.00 here at home to do a boat for him.
$400-$600 plus parts. Can get pricey if you are switching brands...controls, cables, gauges...adds up quick.
And if u r doing all that, $600 is a bargin. I did it twice, my first and my last.Quote:

That's taking off the old stuff and putting on the new.
there's NO CONTROLS at all. LOL Hull and trailer is all there is. It does having a steering wheel though LOL
Does it have an electrical system? If so, is it on the inside or outside of the hull?Quote:

If ya'll can show me how to drill through about 8 feet of a solid sided boat to run wires, please do. LOL The boat I was looking at I found out with more pictures doesn't have a front Deck. It's an old 21 foot MAKO. LOVE the boat except fo it has zero deck so it's a no go
