We bought our first boat, me and my son grew up poor and he always wanted a boat, so I saved three thousand dollars and say a deal on Facebook. We know nothing about boats but the people seemed like good people and claimed ready to fish..
My son was excited and I bought it on trusting those people.
i take it for the first time and it broke 10 minutes in the ride and had to get pulled back to the dock.
the starter was out, the troll motor foot pedal Is out...
texted people I bought it from for help and no response.
replaced Starter at shop, went take it out, 20 minutes later it killed. Called the mechanic and he came ride to dock. Noticed no water was spitting, took back to shop and impeller? Was missing 3 teeth and nothing but a huge pile of sand fell out. We never went anywheres with sand.
we ordered replacement impeller kit and thermastat, but mechanic called and now says the exhaust gasket is leaking? The head compression is good though 150 on each cylinder it’s a 50hp.
He said the exhaust gasket to change is a big job, because you have to remove everything...
he said it’s a small leak, Does this need to be changed or can I get by without repairing it?
im already an extra 1000.00 in parts and labor already. The person I bought from won’t answer phone calls or texts. Bought boat a week ago.
