My dad has found an old boat that is for sale and we wanted some experience boaters input. Dad has never boat or owned a boat so any info. would greatly be appreciated. Dad stopped at an antique sale and they had boat in a garage covered up and dad inquired. This is what dad was told about the boat. 1971 Caravel (Caravelle) tri-hull (bass boat), 15' 1/2", with 55 HP Fisher Pierce Motor (power trim???) and old trolling motor. The story behind the boat is the father bought the boat new in '71 and died in 1980. The daughter took it out only 1 time after 1980 and it has sat in a garage covered up ever since. Dad thought he might have found something, like and old car someone put up. But I am concerned about the motor starting or running. I would think that the motor would be bad and the rings dry rotted. The family priced it at $2000, which I thought was way to high. Any feedback from you guys would be greatly appreciated.
