blue79 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I am selling my 60hp Tohatsu off of my bass boat.The transom is weak on the boat(not broke).The previous owners did some glass work on the inside but they only used one layer of glass and not enough resin and the glass is seperating from the transom.if you try to speed up you can see the transom flex,so i have just trolled all summer.I was gonna strip the motor and stand the boat in the air and reglass the inside the right way but i ended up buying a pontoon.The fibergass and resin was gonna cost me $100.This boat has been at the marina the last 2 summers and fires right up every time.This boat wasnt fast but it planed out quick.Im taking the bass seats and floor plates,trolling motor,fish finder,rod holders,batteries,bilge/livewell pumps,anchors.Im not taking the motor off.Whoever buys the motor gets a free boat.You will be getting 1989 Tohatsu 60hp,motor with tilt/trim,throttle,steering wheel/cables and linkage,the 2 seats that are inside the boat,and the gas can that has the Tohatsu fitting.The boat is a 1979 Tidecraft(blue79) 15ft with new carpet and fuse box this spring.The trailer is not mine and dont go with this boat.You can use it to pull the boat/motor home but will need $150 deposit just in case it dont get brought back or bring some tools and take the motor off here.Clear Titles for boat and motor $800-FIRM. 417-808-0099 I dont answer my phone while im working so leave a message.Can show saturday and sunday.Only have one video of the motor running before the camera died--- ( http://s1202.photobu...t=VIDEO0014.mp4 ). Ready to get this sold so i can put a new deck/carpet on my new pontoon and get back on the lake.All the high temps this summer and a weak transom means no fish in the freezer. Thanks. blue79
blue79 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 I stripped everything thing off that i wanted and the transom was rotten.When i took the pumps off i stuck my finger in between the inner and outer skins and the wood was soft and soggy.Boat is stripped except the motor,throttle and steering so i can still start it up with muffs.I had sold the trailer when the boat was at the marina but i just bought it back so it will be sold with the boat.It is actually a tilt jon boat trailer but it has worked fine for this boat.$800 for the motor,steering,and controls,and gas can,and the boat and trailer is free.If i dont sell the motor i might take the top shell of the boat off and redo the transom and have the boat painted a different color and it would be a new boat.Motor is very dependable.Have all 3 titles.417-808-0099
