I purchased this about a year and a half ago and never had a chance to use it. I planned to build a wooden boat, and I bought this boat package for the trailer which is solidly constructed; I thought if the motor were in good condition this would be a great unexpected bonus. Things have changed for me and my family and I just don't have time for this project. Since I have not used (tested) this boat and motor, I am letting it go for this low price; l do not want it to deteriorate in storage.
