    Putting this out there because you never know who might be looking for a used car with lower miles on it. 2007 Ford Taurus SE, 64000 miles, everything works except window on the rear door on drivers side. Purchased from West Herr in Nov 2013 with 56,000 miles, used as a commuter vehicle(50 miles per day) through this brutal winter, no problems. Replaced coil ignition, new spark plugs and wires. Interior excellent, outside a few scratches etc. Will listen to reasonable offers. Car located in Dunkirk, NY.

    Seal or line likely leaking, would check that out first.

    To help this along, this is an MFG or later MFB Caprice 19 closed bow. These are great lake boats that can take heavy water.

    If you originally had oil in the water, replaced seals and put new oil in, it appears you would have to put it back in to see if it solved the issue. I would run it a short time and see what happens. Be sure to check the o-rings on the fill and drain screws, because sometimes that can cause an issue. And if this doesn't work, you will need to have someone pressure test it.

    The easiest way of doing it is some type of board or aluminum track across the boat just ahead of the motor. The other ways are just drilling the four holes for each rigger, or going with the Berts track system which is very slick but also pricy.

    for kicker motor, long shaft 20 inch. For main motor-outboard, your transom is likely 25 inch or x-long.

    I would check motor mounts soft transom, floor boards, cabin doorway etc for rot. That 4 cyl should take it down without a lot of shake.

    It would be helpful when posts are made like this(and this is not the first one like it on this and other sites) where the poster would say I live in this area and I am willing to travel this many miles or this far to look at a boat. That being said, the craigslist in your immediate area would be the place to start the search.

    A potential purchaser can do their own research on this topic or any of the other issues I presented in the ad.(like any potential motor issue or the purchase of four brand new tires which I took care of this week as a thrown in to sell this package). Not trying to hide anything, just posting a boat that I would like to sell this spring. I am very appreciative of LOU providing this forum to do that. Thank you. If we get enough of a thaw before it sells, I will likely go through the registration process on the trailer.

    The form to do the homemade registration is on the website as of last week. If it is under 1000 lbs, you can do it. Over 1000 lbs is a problem and you can't do it or have extreme difficulty doing it. I know someone who has a very nice aluminum tandem car trailer that is in the over 1000 lb club and is having that issue or issues. If someone wants the form number and instructions, send me a pm. As for the motor issue, in the late 1970's on of the most popular Mercruiser engines was the 302 producing 188 hp. It was replaced by a 305 Chevy which produced 198 hp.

    If you are coming as far as Westfield NY, there are also some campers for sale by a used car dealer in Cassadaga NY, they are on Craigslist Chautauqua County. Seems that the RV industry never fully recovered from the 2008 recession and the public in general has not either and there are all kinds of what appear to be deals to be had out there, particularly on Craigslist.
