Used o/b buyers beware!

16 carbs ...thats like flushing the toilet everytime you step on it....I know I got one... DANIA not what it used to be..most marine flea markets are new vendors with retail crap not marine parts...and then they want retail prices for 20 yr old parts...we have a " SURPLUS marine connection" here in FT PIERCE, got lots of stuff but prices are extreme...I buy offshore HD metal pick-up tubes (KIT) for fourty bucks cause I cant get them anywhere else for that price, good for finding miss-matched guages, but most of the stuff is like gold to them and the walls are buldging out...surplus my ass...

Anytime I go to a surplus store like that (Sailorman and such) I'll take what I want to buy to the register and make them an offer, usually half of what the price tag says. Most of the time they will sell it it to me, otherwise, I leave it on the counter and let them put it back on the shelf

Gator , I have been kind of waiting on you finding that unicorn where the late model boat was totally destroyed and left untouched were two , low hour 25" counter rotating big inch white .. whatever they are's for you at a get em off our lawn price ... !
Since that's more than likely not gonna happen . And neither one of these guys are the type to "bother you" with what they have or what they can do .
I would try contacting our buddy over here . Monty seems to have his finger on the pulse on all things "white" from the test center , dealer network to the sheriff boats .
And I can't help but think your real Ace in the hole is the LTOMCTC . Kev + Beef probably have enough parts to at least get you to the adapter plate . And I would have no problem having Kev do a pair of .015 over Pro Marine powerheads ... He certainly has done enough of em ...

Thx Charlie.
Talked to both, a month ago.

A stick in the gears was our chocolate lab getting an infection in his rr leg.
They've already removed all 4 toes and all the skin (which died due to swelling) of the front of the leg.
We spent last wk on Ft Myers Beach with trips to the city every other day for bandage changes.

This wk in the Keys and the Dr down here wants to do it daily. Today they're going to teach us how, if we can.
The leg looks like a pc of steak and they want to amputate.
We're at $6k and counting.

That came from the motors kitty.

We are pulling the plug and heading north Sat am.

Motor shopping goes on hold.

Still waiting on Ohio weather to build new shop anyhow. Hoped they'd start while we were down here.
It snowed there last night!

Good thing for him, he's not your dog.

I don't have kids. My lab is my boy.

And I go to Sears when I need new tires..... wow. just wow......you make someones loving pet sound like a piece of merchandise................

I really don't understand your response ?

So getting dogs from shelters is a cruel thing , you really lost me , just the opposite...

When I was young I would get purebred AKC dogs, then around 21 I was offered a mix , from then on except for one AKC American Staffordshire Terrier all

have been shelter dogs because I feel sorry for them , the last one in the mix is a Jack Russell that was to be euthanized because he IS a barker and biter ,

nobody wanted to put up with his craziness, he bit the UPS guy two weeks after I got him hates delivery people UPS/ Fedx ect

he drives around with me hours every day , most energetic / loving little pain in the a$$ I've ever had, barking when I leave him for short periods of time , the

smallest dog 19lbs I ever had , he'll go up to a dog four times his size and act like the dominant one , don't believe he will live to old age , raccoon almost killed

him last year $$ I shot it three weeks ago locked up with a big opossum back to the vet , I got over $2,900 in vet bills between $1500 in dental and fights .

We buy two rotisserie chickens a week to add to the three dogs premium dog food / the Jack has to eat special Urinary So veterinary food because of kidney issues,

You got a screwy way of looking at things.

Gate ol bud ,
I'm very sorry to hear that .
My daughter in law is a supervisor where she works , and mini me is .. he says he working on a career ... ( just kiddin , he is ) so they had a dog instead of a kid . Lots of couples do that , so I guess I'm a proud DogGrandDad ... that understands

If you do happen to buy one of them white *^$%%&*&*$#%^ things around here.
You know , I'll swing the gates open for ya , air hose , tools , Frank Mole's spare room ...

Gary, good man making the care of your boy 1st priority!!!.....

[cooperider]

Hey Instigator, I've got a 225 to get rid of. Don't know if it runs, carbs are in pieces in a box in the shop. So my guess is no. $400

[flabum1017]

I really don't understand your response ? .

You made it sound like he should just put his dog down and go get another like worn out tires.

[Instigator]

Was watching a 225 OMC on e-bay that was interesting until I stared at it a few days.

List as EC w/pixs of comp gauge in each hole, $2k shipped!!

Compression is 10-15 psi high though. So either a gauge off by 15% or oil in cylinders.
Oh yeah, and in Miami where you keep your hand on your wallet.
