Ok, Need Some Advice From Everyone

[garyw]

just sealed the deal on an 88 procraft fish and ski. 150 merc black max xr2. and trailer.

sorry, meant to say anyone....not everyone.

looks like a new boat. one owner. title clear. apparently used very little.

has a fish finder like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/BOTTOM-LINE-310-FISH-FINDER-READY-TO-MOUNT-ON-YOUR-RIG-/151031965456?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item232a34e710

don't know anything about it. should i just replace it?

looks like an 88 vintage, with 88 electronics.

suggestion on a replacement? something with gps and under $800 would be nice.

thoughts on the boat? motor?

and as usual thanks for the input.

Oh, here's the boat, http://s42.photobucket.com/user/david2727/library/Boat?sort=3&page=1

1988 XR2 "Used very little" means it has set ALOT.

The oil injection system, fuel system, and cooling system should probably be checked out and/or refreshed. It'll cost ya some coin but it's vital to the life and dependability of the engine.

Trim fluid needs checked and gearcase lube checked/refreshed.

Look over the livewell plumbing real good on the boat, especially the pump thru-hull fittings and overflow outlet fittings...cuz they get brittle with age and can sink a boat in a hurry.

Look over the steering and control cables for signs of degradation or stiffness.

Trailer bunks and wheel bearings?

Updated electronics should be the last thing on your list IMO
