Re: Parting out the new to me 55HP..
Goes to show ya what kind of people we have out there
.
I just sold a motor today to my uncle, and I would of treated anybody else the same way. I have already told him the comrpession readings a while back, I ran the motor in a barrel shifted it out revved it up, and I didn't have the time before to change the gear so I changed it right there in front of him. I even told him that I haven't tested it on a boat and that he may still half to do some adjusting once he gets it on the lake, like I told him that the motor may act different once you get it on the lake and try it. He even gave me $10 more then what I was asking for the motor. Matter of fact he came up to get the motor a few days back and I told him that I might half to yank the carb off and clean it which I did. I told him that if he had any question about the motor or even any problems to let me know. I even told him that I would bring my boat up when he decides to take his for a test run that way we could play it safe.
Just one of the little reasons I sold him that little motor is so maybe I wouldn't be asked from my uncle or cousin "when are we going fishing", they are always talking about going out in my boat when I go fishing. I haven't taken them out yet in my boat, maybe I will some day.
