What do you think? How do you like the 150ZX boat? does anyone own one like this? whats the props and cons about it?

I Just got approved for a loan to get my friend 1995 150ZX Skeeter boat with a 150 Mariner outboard...it is in AWSOME shape...Elderly owned...

Got a dang good deal on it...becuase I know the people and they are wanting to move back up north...

I had to come back and see who authored this comment, wondering how a viewer would have known that.

I have boated all my life without a temp gauge. The engine has an over temp sensor that sounds an alarm in the control box and on some boats an amber light some where on/around the gauges. The stats open at 143F and the OT sensor is set to 195. They work as when I bought my current boat, first time out I had an OT alarm and discovered that the stat was stuck shut.

Now the cooler, that's entirely a different subject.....use the live well and throw the fish back or put them on ice and wash your beer off. Grin

On the boat, I thought it was a Ranger till I saw the mosquito. They have come a long way since their first mosquito boat back in the late '60's. I felt, and still do that they started the bass boat revolution.....er ah was the Forrest Wood and his Ranger!

Looks like a very nice boat. I would be leary of buying anything major from, or selling to, someone I am close to. If you buy from a stranger and the machine quits, you will be muttering that the bas***d knew it was about to break. When you buy from a friend and that happens it may very well become the start of the friendship unraveling

This is True...But this guy Is a VERY honest preson and has told me everyhting that is wrong witht he boat engine to where when he gets on plane after a min an alarm comes on and he slows down and just idles...he beleive it is the water pump... he said it is peeing fine and the boat shop said it is fine also... the boat shop just replaced 2 sensors on it also... he said he keeps paper work on all that has been done to it... we are going to check compression and everyhting tomorrow evening when i go check it out at the lake...

@ TexasMark

I am now beginning to wonder if it is really the water pump now because of you saying a alrm will sound when it gets to hot... but what dont make since is that it is peeing fine...
