  1. Yeahh, troubleshooting stuff over the net might be expensive. Take it to a mechanic who can diagnose it properly. Otherwise yoy might end up wirh a very expensive boat anchor.

    Sent from my Lenovo P770 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  2. About to purchase and older boat, with an OMC Cobra and a 4.3L engine, here are my questions....

     

    1. What to look for in general?

    2. How readily available are parts for these dinosaurs?

    3. Any general known problems with these?

    4. Is the 4.3 a chevy motor?

    5. Whats the best way to test it without being in the water, seller wants to put muffs on it and run it + go through gears?

     

    Please help :)

     

     

  3. Thinking of upsizing, want to purchase something with a cuddy where i can stay overnight with my kid.
    I bought this boat last year, used it around 10 times for trolling.
    Since i purchased it these items were added:
    1. Fuel Filter with water separator
    2. Sony CD/mp3 stereo with Yamaha outdoor speakers
    3. Bimini top
    4. Lowrance Elite 5 fish finder with navionics card for Great Lakes.
    5. Replaced Battery
    6. Downrigger removeable brackets/holders
    7. Standard Horizon VHF marine radio.
    8. Replaced swivel jack on the trailer
    9. added 4 boat guides, 2 tubes, 2 boards
    10. added an aluminum swim ladder.
    11. danforth compass
    12. river anchor (round one)
    13. 2 rod holders
    14. replaced bearings in trailer last year
    15. Installed LED lights.

    Boat comes with a 2008 Mercury 2 stroke motor, and a 2 month old Tohatsu 6 HP Sailpro high thrust with an alternator. I bought the boat from a chap who used it 4 times so hours on the motor are low.  Boat has some cosmetic scratches on transom.
    Boat does about 30 mph at wot. I used it few times to pull my 3 year old kid on a tube last year at wasaga.  Boat can be tester on the water anytime with deposit.
    Boat is and was stored in an insulated garage.

    Boat has a livewell and a bilge pump, also comes with all navigational lights. It is also unsinkable since it has foam filled compartments.

    Do a search on Kijiji for a Crestliner Kodiak in Ontario to find out how much these boats are worth.

     

    I can deliver this boat to BUFFALO, NY or NIAGARA FALLS on the US side.

     

    Offers please.
