HOW MUCH ⬇️
Love it! Should we start a group for those of us who spend way to much time on marketplace !?😂😂
If you had low compression across all cylinders. Put some oil in cylinders and try it again rings may be stuck if it's been sitting along time. Most likely you're looking at a full rebuild though.
my guess for the boat is $6200. can’t want to see you bring this boat back to life! I loved the bass cat and am very excited to see another boat restoration series!!
Keep doing this. Such an awesome series.
Her family pays for the wedding. You buy the boats, just saying
Put Aquatraction or similar material on the floor in the cockpit area. You have experience replacing seats. I suggest doing a step box in the middle instead of a seat. As mentioned C&O marine is a great place for parts including windshield. Looking forward to watching the progress. As a Stratos owner you have a great rig
Two things on the motor. If it’s sat for a while check the tell tale for blockage. That is usually the first issue. Regardless the impeller needs to be replaced if it’s sat for a couple of years. Based on my manuals compression should be around 90-110 on the optimax. Don’t be surprised if a good systems cleaning and new water pump kit doesn’t do wonders for that outboard. Also it’s best to test compression after your motor has ran for about 5-10 minutes so that it’s warm and everything (piston rings etc) is sealing well. Learned that the hard way and almost sold someone a rebuild when I was starting out.
Guessing listing for 6500 but took it home for 5750.
You're gonna love this boat Stratos are amazing rigs
I'll say $ 6,800. Can't wait to see this series...always a fan!
Good luck on the build all the best to ya.
I’m going to say $6,500. It looks like a good rebuild. Can’t wait to watch your journey.
Great idea, crowdsourcing your Marketplace purchases 👍
You’re gonna love that stratos. I drove 8 hours to pick up my stratos project. Have loved it since
you definitely should be doing this!!!!
Excellent choice in boats…you were already eyeing it when I suggested Stratos 😂
Pretty nice looking boat. Looking forward to this series. in Canada they probably would’ve sold it for 20k but I think it would be $6750
If by chance you have to repower you should look into a partnership with Chris Carson marine and document their process in pulling your powerhead and having them rebuild and installing. I believe using them and doing labor yourself will save thousands of $$. I had to pull my powerhead and do some work last year and there was very little info on UA-cam for that. It’s easier than I thought, and the added aspect of sending it out for repair and re-installing would be awesome for people who can do it but don’t know the process. Your other boat build was great and well documented. So I could see that being a big hit too. Since it runs, but low compression there’s a chance they could save it pretty cheap. Just my thoughts.
Run a stiff wire or weed wacker string up through the pee hose. Sometimes bees or bugs build nests in there and all you need to do is clear it out. Great looking rig. Good luck 👍
