Guest Phantom Z Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Careful with the inboards, maintenance on them can be a pain. However, that is a good price as long as it is in good shape. PS: care to post up a bigger pic of the avatar!?! Quote
ridingred Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 is that a true inboard or is it an I/O? i've got a rinker captiva 192 with a mercruiser v6, 200hp, it's an I/O. The boat has been great for the past 3 years. Only change the fluids in it once a season. It pulls alot of skiers (myself included), so the first mod i did was to get a prop and fin for it so it pulls out of the water better.

TheViking Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I would stay with an I/O if possible...Outboards are ok but not as easy to work on imo....Plus parts seem to be way more expensive Quote 2004 TRX450R, Full HMF Exhaust,jetted, K & N, i-Shock Phantom +2 A-Arms. 2006 Raptor 350, Bone stock http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/dea29ecec90cdbdda9bd6fd562f2773d.jpg
Mattonln Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 sounds like a decent deal, whats the hours? thats what you need to look for and almost every boat has an hour meter. anything over 300-400 and the common wear items start to go. steering, water pumps, electrical, manifolds, out-drives (NOT CHEAP). also try to get service records. I love getting on the water and hope you do too brent! Quote Mobile Dyno - Motor Builds - Service - Porting Dynomite Performance ATV Phoenix, AZ 623-255-7096
