Hi all,
Firstly I should say that our boating experience is limited to tinnies and slower fishing boats. So Any advice or opinions are appreciated.
A friend and I are looking at a 1979 "Dominator Flightcraftor Sun Downer" with a 200HP V6 Mercury engine.
I have attached some pictures of what we are looking at, could someone with more knowledge then us please confirm that this is what we are looking at?
Are there any known issues with this kind of boat?
What about the 2stroke 200HP V6 Mercury engines?
We are insisting that he start the engine for us before we buy it, but we are no where near anywhere we could test it on the water. is there anything in perticular we should be looking for with the engine or boat?
The boat we are looking at is cheaper then other similar boats so we are very keen.
In the worst case, we buy it and the engine is dead, how difficult is it going to be to rebuild (Im an amateur mechanic
)
Thanks for any advice.
