good boat check the typical boat problems, Rot, was it winterised every year? carb problems they sit alot with bad gas in em. cold water intake impeller, gear box check for prop strikes they can screw up alot. if there is a new prop and nothing else it could point to a problem.

Most common problem I see with them is impellers going out.  I'm going to assume it's a v-drive, so watch very closely for a bent shaft.  A slight bend can amount to a whole lotta vibrations.  Otherwise, that should basically be a 350 chevy, so expect it to run like......well, a 350 chevy. 

:thumbs: thanks guys.  I will pass on the info  :yupyup:  I always forget which is which, but I beleive it is  v-drive nate.  Those are the ones with the doghouse right in the middle of the cockpit area, right?

Rent one and let someone else wory about problems. That way you have more $ to spend on bent toyotas
Its not for me, its for my dad :yupyup:  he's not into the whole wheelin thing, at least not the fixing part :hahaha:
