So I'm finally looking to buy my first boat as an adult since spending my childhood on the lake. Looking at picking up a 20HP and a 12-14ft inflatable.
Been looking at used outboards since new ones are pretty pricey. I came across this one for a good price and a couple hours away. Only thing is that the seller claims it only has 10hrs on it. I know with cars and motorcycles it's bad to have an engine sit that much without running very often. It also seems like it's sat in the sun since the gear shift and kill-chord seem super faded.
Is this something to steer clear of? Or is it worth a visit to see how it's running?
