Busy-livin Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Boats a are big investment but a lot of fun. Might I add I find when viewing a boat before you crank the motor take the cowling off and touch the motor if warm he has obviously got it running and warmed up before you've gotten there. That way it starts first crack of the key looks good ! bang buy it then next weekend go to the ramp and takes an hour to get the bugger started. This is a problem I found with past motorbikes and it proved costly. Just my two cents after seeing the post with motor spitting oil and not starting Edited March 3, 2015 by Stanton44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza416 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hi to all again, I've been to the boat show and think I've found my boat, I'm keen on a seacraft commander 400 with a 30hp Evinrude Etec tilt and trim all new for just short of $15k with drive on trailer,,spoke to Craig from Huett marine and the 30 would be perfect for this boat,,there are some YouTube vids regarding this boat and I think it's going to be good...cheers and thanks for all the advice....Muzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
