1975 Seacraft MA
 
Looking to purchase a 1975 MA for the console. It has a 1975 175 Mercury with a bad cylinder. Is this a desireable motor to try to resale or even repair. I want to swap out my older style console and then resale the rig. Any opinions or suggestions.
Thanks,

1976 V175 was a great motor, but it's probably not worth saving. If it was used in Saltwater . . . it's likely impossible to pull apart.

If this is the one I think it is...I corresponded with the guy on that boat a couple of months ago, when I started asking questions about the title etc. he told me it was sold. Now it is buy the trailer and haul off the boat with it (no title).

I would run the numbers with fish and wildlife and figure out what is going on.

Thats the one, I talked to TPWD today and said noway they would title the boat. I am thinking about buying it for the console and just disposing of the boat. I looked at it last year at another location. Are you still looking for the floor hatches. Maybe we can work a deal with the guy.

In Florida, if the cost of the materials you put into a hull restoration equals 51% or more of the value of the restored hull, you may title it as a homemade boat, and have a new Hull Identification Number assigned.

That answers why my boat has a "home made" hull number versus a Seacraft designation. I've been wondering how that happened. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Hey et23,

I would be interested in spare parts from that boat, hatches, the splashwell door, etc.. If you pick it up please take some pictures.

Thanks,

Rich
