"I Found this '98 Sea Rayd
"I Found this '98 Sea Rayder with this engine for 450 dollars. Boat is great. Engine is seized though. The guy told me its from sitting for almost 3 years, but I'm not too sure. Any mechanics out there know of this engine? Are they known to seize up? What would be the likey problem? Is it worth fixing? Would a simple rebuild kit get it up and running? Or could it be seized up from not getting oil?
Would I be too optimistic to think that I could just remove the plugs and soak the heck out of it with oil to free it up?
I would appreciate any information on this..I'm really intested in buying this boat.. But not interested in spending 4000 dollars for a rebuilt engine."
