Congrats on the new boat! What is the new one? I will bet a 1448 MV no middle seat. I agree I have done well at Ed's they told me price was cash as in green money and that is what I brought and all was well. I had a crappie jon just like yours and it was a good boat. I sold mine on account of the cost of keeping up the 4 stroke. Mine was a problem and repairs were costly I wish you luck on a new one. Whomever get the old 2 stroke will be a happy camper they will run forever. My current motor is a 1987 2 stroke that starts mostly on first pull.
