Got this bad boy for free. Owner said it sank but was pulled out right away, he forgot to put hull plug in when dropped in water.
Ran it 2 years ago for an hour then this spring for 15 minutes.
Now it wont crank, bad starter or battery i hope.

Well it fired up with a good battery connected. Big puff of white smoke. Waiting to hear from guy i got it from what oil is in the tank. Looks like regular oil but i dont know what the right one would look like.

I wish I lived somewhere that people had money. It is almost unheard of for someone to give away stuff like that around here. People ask $300 for non-running ATV's from the
80's! Its not much better with karts either. I don't think ive ever seen a water toy for cheap. Boats on the other hand...people give them away if you pay a few bucks for the trailer...lol.
