Awful clean and shiney compared to most of ours! :sly: :thumbup:

Congratulations!

Old as the boat is, obviously a replacement engine if a 403 is in there. And nothing wrong with that, it's not giving anything up to a 455, other than it's a much newer "smog" engine from a passenger car. Should still be able to have a ball in it!

That is, until you catch the bug and full blown disease we all seem to suffer from trying to chase triple digit speed numbers, etc after some time in it..............

Yea I picked it up on a trade from the original owner I got the owners manual and all ;) I traded a 2008 Yamaha ttr 230 trail bike I picked up for my wife. She fell and gave up so it was just sitting there so I think this was a win for ME :D
