the boat info site will tell you all you need to know…

you can print important sections (pages) into a PDF file for future needs

the motor may likely need new coils if originals are still in and cracked same for impeller …no big deal to fix up points… carb kit maybe needed float may be shot and dried

this should be a fun project …don’t despair lots of help here

nice find ! check compression before spending more money on it ..just in case

btw OEM BRP coils costs are expensive but I have had great success with chineese coils (check EBAY OMC coils …some are free shipping to ! )

spark plug wires may need replacement using 7mm solid/strand metal wire (no carbon wires !) if you do coils do wires at the same time

print all pages of the parts listing to PDF or paper for future needs
