Sorry, I wasnt able to post pictures. Im thinking about checking out this boat. I talked to the owner and he said last time the engine ran, reverse was not working. Plus he wasnt sure when it last ran since this boat belongs to his grandpa. He did mention they have the part to fix the reverse issue. As you can see in the pictures it will need seats re-upholster, new carpet and good buff to bring the paint back to life. Im not sure about the engine as far as what more it will need. Do you guys think the boat and trailer are worth the 800 bucks if the tags are up to date? He also said the hull has no cracks and is in good shape. Last question- are Avengers an ok boat?

If that is your style.  Needs a lot of work.  Keep looking if you ask me :-)

I was a Chrysler/Force outboard certified master technician..


My humble opinion... Keep walkin', nothing to see here.

Floor will be rotted, upholstery will cost more than the purchase price, your going to have more than a weekend cleaning up the gel coat and the list goes on...

You really want a two stroke outboard?
