Re: CL find: 18' on Cape Cod: $1250...
Big Red is going back on the market in Sept after Comm Bass season is done.
I'm working on a larger cabin boat and going to cleanup this 18. I got the 130 running last night and fixed the trim and tilt by wiring a Mercury 2 wire trim and tilt harness/relays. It works great!! They did a great job pickling the motor too. Unfortunately almost all the positive leads that had current through them when the boat sank dissolved into green mush, but I clipped them back and was able to replace most of them. Great little boat! Hope to go through the carbs tonight.
New transom consists of 2 half inch thick Aluminum plates that raise the transom to 25". It's solid as a rock, but that will be a winter project. Motor will go bye-bye (for a 175 Merc), but I want to get a few tanks of fuel thorough it before the seasons is over. Whoever did the wiring on this boat did a great job!!
