We had a Sunfish at the lake growing up. Being a small boat she was easy to turtle but equally easy to right. A few years ago they said something about trashing it as it was slow and no good. Mom and dad asked if they could have it.... they said sure. Dad went over and pulled the plug out of the top side and stood it on its edge. I bet 40 gallons of water came out. A little gel coat repair and she rides nice and high again. They were pissed.... but not as ignorant as they once were.

Yeah........amazing amount of water seeps thru those cracks in the in The inner hull when they sit in the backyard uncovered for years. Lol
I saw a D-4 Cat go cheap at an auction.
Couldn't move under its own power. Bad clutch.
The guy went up after he got it and pulled the rock that kept the clutch from coming up all the way that he saw during the presale inspection.
Drove it up on a trailer and drove away.

Well there........just spent an hour cleaning the thick mung out of and off of a 262XP.....finding poorness in various places along the way....the guy just as proud as could be bragging that he hadn't done a thing to it in the 15 years he's owned it......at least he isn't a liar. Coil wire chaffed through to the core then nasty black tape gleebed around it in a sticky mess. I had intended to just do a carb kit and fuel line and get it running and out the door but as I unearthed things it became apparent that the first thing I needed to do was pull the muffler and check the piston as it had a brandy new air filter and sparkplug.....just like most of the beat ones that arrive here. Piston is toast....scoured all to hell, comp low....so he needs a set of seals, new piston kit, carb kit and fuel line/filter, coil wire, providing I can save the cyl.....he was adamant that he needed it this coming week....I have everything in stock but that's gonna cost a fair piece of change and much more if he needs a cyl too.....I doubt he'll go for it.....we'll see...saw is worth it, ugly as it is......with the proper fixing there are hundreds if not thousands of cord left in it.....
I have a 261 here I should make into a 262 . Its scored bad too .

Yep I have a real sweet very low hr. 261 that some idiot put a chitty Golf 262 piston in then over revved it without a B&C on and spun the clutch off the crank and into the beautiful clutch cover, giving that quite a rubbing.....@%^&!@*&%$#.....but it will make a real nice 262.....got the proper clutch, the big #87 carb and a "Walker" style DP muffler for it........just need to get the time....actually that's why I have a new Meteor piston on the shelf that I can use on this beater if I get the green light....
I grew up with all wooden boats, we often built a new one each winter, likely turned out 40+ over the years. Plenty of labor time put into maintaining them afterwards to. Best thing ever when the aluminum and later fiberglass boats started replacing the rotted out wood ones, far less painting and hull maintenance on them.

Hooskivitis can set in real deep, take years to get rid of it, best policy is to never touch one.
