@67Dart273 I know it's newer than the holes in the water you like, but the deal was right for $1200 so my son bought it. 16'9" and an oil injected 65 Suzuki. No need to mix the fuel. PO couldn't get it to start easily, claiming the electric choke didn't work. What he didn't know is you have to pudh the key in to activate it. This baby purrrrrrrs. We've got a few gremlins to work out in the wiring for the lights and bilge pump, but other than that she's solid.

After too many conflicts with time, we spent the last 2 evenings getting it to run in gear. Would idle beautifully, but die outhe in gear. Magneto was surface rusted and cleaned all 3 carbs. Good times ahead. Including the necessary safety gear and registration fees, he's only into the thing for $2k total.

I'm planning on getting the little 12ft Crestliner back in the water either tomorrow or Fri. Had a rain/ cold snap last few days, and wind. Put an old 55 Evinrude 35 hp on the thing for now
 
I think you scored big time.

We are looking for a minty 71 ish Century Arabian with a 440 for some lake therapy! Have fun and don`t forget PFD's and a fire extinguisher.
