Thank you for the good wishes and I have gotten in contact with the previous owner and he has told me he has the lower unit in storage and that I can have it and im going to talk to him about why the boat was taken out of service and he wants to meet up with me this weekend hopefully he can tell me more about and why it was free and not sold on craigslist thats one of my biggest questions right there

Well I have a place to keep it up north inside and it would stay there forever and Im feeling good about it so im gonna pull the deck up and see what it looks like and go from there and it has awesome potential

you definitely discouraged me im trying to be positive about this and I know there could be terrible things wrong with this boat it sat outside for 2 or more years uncovered and not winterized but crap man really killed my buzz

It has tags froms last year on it this boat was in the water not very long ago

But I know im not going to sell it I really dont know why I like it but I love the challenge and I love taking something and putting my own touch on it if I do something im going to do it right the first time or why do it at all

I keep telling myself im going to sell it if it becomes too much work ive already been offered 2300 for the boat and thats in the condition its in but its so unique ive never seen another one in my life my buddys dad had 74 stinger we used to ride up north Ill always remember that boat it was metal flake yellow and it was fast

Oh I have figured that out I blew a tire on the way back to our fishing property about 300 acres where its stored right now and It didnt sink in how deep I had gotten myself in but I definitely do now and I expected to have to repair and or replace everything I restored my 79z28 camaro from the frame up so Id like to think I have a pretty good attention to detail what really sold me on it being my new project its gonna sound kinda stupid but the color of the gelcoat its a deep dark blue with metal flakes and it needs a good buff and shine but when the sun hits it just right it looks amazing thank you for the warm welcome jay

Unfortunately yes but im a glutton for punishment I know its going to be a fun project it will be nice when its done also the price I was quoted for the lower unit includes the part and labor

Okay guys so I picked up my first boat the other day and from what ive figured out its a 1990 fibertron 15' bass boat with a 60hp suzuki outboard I was at a buddys grad party and saw it across the road with a FREE sign on it I jumped on it figured that eather the boat was free or the trailer was free walked across the street and talked to the guy he was pretty cool and he said yeah I want it off my property and he gave me the registration to the trailer and the boat its definitely rough around the edges before it hits the water I need a lower unit bilge pump a fuel tank and one lower carb and im going to replace the floor aswell I think its was a pretty awesome boat but for the price how can I complain it needs some love but id like some advice from some more experienced people then myself im 20 and until the other day didnt know a single thing about boats but I need to compression test the motor it seems very good but im not spending any money on it until I know the motors worth saving I was planning to put a 90hp merc motor on it but this seems like a more cost effective route and also I have a guy that will install the lower unit but hes asking about $400-$500 to do it I dont have a problem with that but does it seem like a reasonable price for that type of job everything else im doing myself including the floor replacement thanks in advanced also if anyone knows anymore info about the boat that would be awesome I really cant seem to find much at all other then it was a manufacturer out of Brooklyn Canada that closed down in the early 1990s
