I know it is a tri-hull but someone here may have a use for it or be interested in the package for the motor 75 Glastron 17 ft tri-hull(registered as 17, actually the 186 Swinger model) and mooring cover, 84 Johnson 70 hp with power trim and tilt(this is 3 cyl), 2200 lb calkins roller trailer. Boat can be used now, however it will eventually need transom repair. If you are using it on an inland lake, it should give you years of service before you need to do something. Or re-inforce it now with some aluminum plates. In any case, it is not going to fail without advance warning. Floor and rest of hull solid. Seats are recently installed, still have plastic shipping corners on them. Interior-other seats, side panels, bow seats are excellent. Motor runs good, just needs tinkering like sticking fast idle. Trailer has brand new tires, which were installed on 7/1. $1000.00 or best offer Boat located in Dunkirk, NY. Will provide motor pictures later.

A good quality grease not necessarily marine. Bearing failure, like the trailers you see on the side of the road usually come from lack of maintenance, no one took the time to either spin the wheels or pop the cover off. Or someone tightened things too tight.

I certainly would not want to sell something to someone that could not be registered, I am clarifying this question now. But for example an unladen trailer weighing more than 999 lbs, has an issue getting registered as a homemade. And a trailer that would fall under the title rules. The unladen weight on this is in the neighborhood of 350 lbs.

This has worked in the past, try some of the good dry gas, dump enough to cover whatever gas you have in the tank, run it at idle long enough to get it circulated through the system, then go for a ride. Sounds like you have a bad tank of gas to me, I would try this before going to the next suggestion, water separator or fuel filter.

It would be helpful if posters put their location when looking for something. My suggestion would be to get on Craigslist in your area and look. For example in Western NY, there have been a few posted this spring/summer.

As I recall when the bellows went on my OMC Cobra that I owned years ago, the marina owner said the Mercruiser was the most involved to change.

price reduced another $50.00 to $300.00. Would like to move it this week.

price reduced-to the top.

I think we all need some more details, symptoms. Is it stumbling at high speed, has a miss at high speed etc? Has it had a set of new plugs recently? How old is the motor? Do the plug wires etc look good, no cracks etc? Permanent gas tank and if so how old is the gas? Those are the questions that any mechanic is going to ask or anyone on here with a suggestion? thanks

sold 6/2/2012 Please read the following. This motor was on a boat that sat outside for six years. The wiring connections to the battery are not in the best shape and I did not even try to repair. Therefore, I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS MOTOR RUNS OR NOT. If you pull it buy hand it turns and feels like it has solid compression. Lower unit is fine, prop is good. It has wiring harness and controls, key is broken for ignition. MOTOR is complete package, all parts are there. Manual tilt engine, 20 inch shaft. Located in Dunkirk NY $175.00 or best offer.

$500.00 for boat only.

would be willing to sell just the boat-or if someone wanted the motor for parts just the motor.

Caught a mixed bag of perch, sunfish, silver bass and rock bass, upper half of the lake, 10 ft of water or less. Good opportunity to take kids over there with the probability of landing something and keeping their interest.
