Shoot me an e-mail. I can shoot you some pictures of mine before I took it apart. I can also help with set-up and prop.
I found the merc laser 2 to be a great prop for these little boats.

Welcome to the board and congrats TLT.

I'd love to hear the ebay story? How was it as you sat there with a minute to go waiting to see if you go her? And how far was the boat etc?

Believe it or not this boat had a buy it now of $600.00 dollars.I had seen the boat on e-bay before and it sold to the guy I bought it from for $2100.00.He had ran it a couple times and it kept fouling #4 plug.He was told by a mechanic in Kansas that it was piston material fouling plug,so he had it listed on e-bay as engine parts.I drove 12 hrs. to pick it up and got even a better surprise when I did compression check 125-135 on all cylinders.

That is so cool. You stole that boat. Thats a great price for the boat and you got a trailer and motor for free.
