What do I look for when buying an outboard motor?

Have them start it up , listen to the engine. Look under the motor housing to see how clean it is. Look for any build up of oil anywhere on the outside of case. The most important thing that will tell you if it was ran hard and beat up is the condition of the prop.If you are trying to figure out size then just look up what it the boat is rated for, and check out similar boats with smaller or bigger motors.

ccs.com and activemailorder.com have great deals.  if your 12 you should definatly get a 7.5 or lower board width, and dont worry about plys, because your not gunna break your board.  Some great beginner board brands are Almost, chocolate, and a CCS blank deck.  I would definatly get an ALmost if i were you because they are amazing.  In the padding area, Protec is very good, but anything they sell on those sites i recomended will be good.  Also you will need trucks and wheels.  Tensor and Krux are great trucks, and Ricta, autobahn, are the best wheels, but wheels dont matter too much, except for wheel size.  If your going to be doing alot of vert skating and park skating then you want a bigger wheel.  anywhere from a 54-56 mm, but if your going to be doing street you will want a 49- 52....i myself have 49 mm Rictas.  Anyother questions you have i can answer.  Remeber one thing though, alot of skateboarding products, are about personal preference, how they feel to you, some people may hate your board and you love it or vice versa.

i bought my enjoi off eBay for 50 bucks from tgm skateboards and there are other good boards there. when i got it i only had to replace the trucks because they were to heavy and the grip tape because it was flat. but i think eBay is the best place to buy them. \n\nif you looking for a good brand i recommend: enjoi,element,birdhouse,flip or zero

westinghouse, General Electric,are the best motors to have,if you're replacing a motor take your old one to a distributor to match it up shaft and coupling.will it be a ran at intervals or 24 hours? be sure to check the amps to make sure it doesn't overseed what you're repacing.use the yellow pages in your phone book to locate a dealer near you...you can buy a cheaper motor like an appco but it won't give you the reliable service like Westinghouse or Ge brand make sure you buy one that's designed for your application and if it's going to be an inside motor or outside motor get a sealed bearing motor if you have a choice don't use a indoor motor outside wetness could cut the life of it short.Hoped this helped you some....

The trolling motors vary in size, price, etc.  Some are just plain with not much options on them. Some have foot controls that way your hands are free for fishing.  The lowest price Ive seen is right around $100.00 clear up to $500.00 or maybe higher.  Just shop around and just start asking questions to the sales person.. Also look at the pound of thrust it has too. That makes alot of difference  when you are trolling too.  Usually the trolling motors are the Minn-Dakotas. There might be some other brands out there too.  Good luck.

I'm looking for a boat and I check eBay everyday to see if there is anything available within driving distance.  I've bought and sold a lot of stuff on eBay, including vehicles, so I know that it works.  You will likely sell your boat if you list it there.

That depends upon the torque of your engine and how much weight it has to push through the water. If you have too much pitch- it will lug your engine and cause damage to it. If you have too little pitch--your engine will over-wind and that will cause damage, also. Your best bet, is to consult your friendly-neighborhood marine dealer. Most are only too happy to help you figure out what you need, then sell it to you. That's how they make a living.

Try to contact the the company that made the boat ex.(Ranger, Stratos,trition,skeeter,Bay liner, Tracker marine) most of the numbers will be the model,year,and date made. The motor is pretty much the same. good luck

No ,there isn't a "chart" or "formula". \n\nHowever, most 55-70LB thrust motors will propel boats quickly, from 14-19 FT long. You would probably need a 55LB thrust motor.If you don't feel confident, ask your local boat salesman/manufacturer.(My first boat was an old 77' 14FT tri-hull/40HP & I had a 40LB motor on it and it worked great; it weighed approx. 1000Lb's)\n\n Try getting a Marine catalog from "Cabelas" & "Bass Pro Shops".

Check the tag on the cover - it should tell you. If not, there should be a manufacturers name on the tag. Give them a call - they'll know for sure. If it's not trailerable, get one from West Marine or Boaters World.  Good luck  !!    Pete

An old boat like that will be really hard to find replacement parts for. Also depending on what specific parts they are. You may have to just but new equipment for some parts like motor, nav, etc. Other parts you may be able to find on e-bay.
