I just bought this 16ft Jupiter from a guy at work for $500. I haven't actually seen it in person only the pics. He said he had it out 2 years ago but hasn't used it since. For $500 I couldn't go wrong. Ill probably have to pull the carb and clean it and so on. He said the floor is soft but after reading this forum I see that I actually bought a pretty project boat.
Couple questions. It has been in freshwater probably its whole life but since I am 2 block from the bay I will be putting her in saltwater. Anything that I should do before her maiden voyage ? I want to use it over the summer and then in the future do a complete restoration. Can't wait to pick it up at the end of the month. I also have a good lead on a deep discount on a ETEC how fast would a 65 or 75Hp push her?
