My wife and I went on CL and found a pontoon boat for sale for $1000. The guy selling it was over his Dads estate. When we showed up to buy, there were like 10 other people that showed. So the seller put 1 yes and a bunch of No’s in a hat. I was the first to pull and we pulled the yes. Outboard motor on boat only had 8 hrs on it and the boat was awesome. Best deal ever got on CL.

I wish you guys the best of luck. I'm sure you'll do fine. You work together really well and have patience with the project and one another. I helped a friend of mine with his boat and while it was interesting, I never could get into it much. I think the reason being is that living in Northern Nevada, you pretty much have to trailer your boat to get to the water, which I thought was a hassle.

Pro safety tip! Any time you are starting you should run the blower! It's an easy step to prevent explosions. I typically leave mine running the entire time the motor is running, and around 1 minute before start and after shutdown. Blower motors are cheap to replace compared to explosions!

[@FlyMeAirplane]

I believe the "book" says run the blower for 4-5 minutes. I also like to always open the engine cover prior to starting to smell for fuel.
