4 friends and a boat

[Chevy1]

Yesterday my son and three of his buddies bought themselves a 25 foot Wellcraft .
They had it inspected by a certified boat mechanic and he gave the boat thumbs up. Everything works as it should. His only advice was that in the future to replace the manifold and risers. I don’t have any other information on the boat yet, but it sure looks good.

Nice boat. Four way partnership should work out great. Either way, it will be a good experience for them.

I don’t know the year, OLD ? but the I/o looked brand new the boat is super clean

 

[Chevy1]

It’s a 89 with a 98 350 engine

Just look at the real smiles on their faces !! That's a win already.

They need to have a fund for repairs. 20+ yr old I/O WILL need repairs......... hopefully they put the parameters of the partnership in writing.........

None of them are that way . Whatever the expense is it’s 1/4 per man. I think most all repairs needed have been done this season. I wish them luck ?

 

[OVERBORED]

Excellent! They're making memories for a lifetime!

 

[Chevy1]

Update. I thought they bought a Grady White. My mistake, they looked at one but bought the Wellcraft in the pictures.

McKenna thinks it to her valve he has even taken off the valve cover he said 3 to 4K to take the motor out to fix it his partners don’t want to invest in the boat so this might be a very short term ownership

Might want to talk to that mechanic that said all was well...

Inspected in May and 8 weeks later 3-4k repair?

Don't know how any mechanic can sign off on a 24yr old I/O.........

Oh well....guess its one of those life le$$ons.........
