Ok. I bought this boat to sell last year.... It had good compression but bad fuel pumps... I installed all new fuel pumps and if you know anything about optimax's it has a bunch... they were bad because of ethenol... I also serviced the lower units and installed new water pumps.... I got it running great and took it to the lake to test it.... well I ran it (or my mechanic did) until I blew up the starboard engine... when we got back we saw where we had pulled a oil line loose on the number five cylinder.... Ok so.... I then pulled the power head... sent mine to be built at out board recycle... got it back, put it back on. and Had this boat completely ready.... a month or so ago, I put it in the lake and ran it over 50 miles.... it ran perfect...
I checked all the pumps and fixed all the lights... and had a couple of days here on guntersville that I ran it around and used it and broke the engine in.....
So after a couple of days of running it around and making sure it was tip top.... I loaded it up and pulled it to the beach..... well I think two flats on the way down... and a broke trailer light....
So sat morning I took it and put it in at Orange Beach public ramp.... and idled out to the jetties at the pass.... we caught bait and decided to head out.... well about a half mile out... we noticed the boat was full of water and taking on more....
I made it to the beach inside the pass, got my passengers off.... One of which was a buyer for the boat.... well the boat flipped a few mins later...
Sea tow came and got me out.... they told me that one of the pie holes in the transom had rattled loose during the 350 mile transport.... and that the pumps could not keep up.... sinking this boat..
so you are bidding on a decent boat.... solid transom.... broke ttop and submerged 150 optimax engines.... the trailer has all new tires...
and is in decent shape...
you will need to go thru these engines and prob rebuild them.... I have poured them full of gas...
but please dont assume that you can just crank one or both..
they sunk, in salt water... but they are all there... with all the parts and both have good lowers..
Please call me if you need more photos... there are some minor fiber glass repairs that need done then the engines need gone thru..... I am selling this rig as is where is... please call me if you want more photos...
