      A useable one would be 4 to 10 k now you can find cheaper ones that needed a lot of work all depends how many time and money you want thrown at up each year there less of this model considering there never made 533 there still a few around ,,,,a good one will only go up in price

      @andrewcronk546 I've got this idea in my head that I could have a small river boat in semi good condition that can go on the canals too, mainly for leisure and fishing for 5k or 6k but tbh I would mind a little project either its the cost of having it out water

    I'm thinking of buying a cheap and I mean cheap Freeman 26 and have watched some of your video of painting and such could do with some tips in the future if I decide to purchase it . It has motor and running gear lower half of hull paint is in bad condition is missing 1 side window and canopy is covered in mildew had most interior but drawers and all wood could do with varnish ECT because it's flakey capets need replacing. I think it's a 70s or 80s looking model because it has a more sharp and in parts box shaped look to it . Iv a question as I don't know lots about boats would this be a strictly river boat or could you go out to sea onit if been in the sea on smaller speed boats but only in calm seas so wouldnt know thanks.

      Hello if you going you need to ask yourself some questions 1 does the boat run 2 does the gearbox work and if yes is there any vibration if hold the screen there no major vibration then it good bet. 3 does the boat have bss ticket. Is the floor joints good no rot. Which engine and gear is in it.. You can get most engine at local motor factors at half the price... The list goes on.. Where in country are you

    That west bend 40 is a nice engine. It should have a Wico battery ignition with Bosch coils. Clean and set the points at 0.20 of an inch, hook up the battery and it should have spark. I have the 1958 Elgin Skipper 35 hp engine which is the same as your engine except yours makes more power. Just be careful because it could be a positive ground system. Follow the positive lead and see if it mounts directly to the block. If it does, then it is positive ground and you should hook up the negative first. If not then hook up positive first. The engine runs twin Chrysler fuel pumps and you can buy rebuild kits for them for pretty cheap. Nice find though.
