    Hey guys, I've been fishing out of a kayak for too long and have an opportunity to purchase a 1994 Ranger Sport R70 with a 115hp Mercury Mariner. The boat is owned by my wife's great uncle (who I haven't met yet). He is original owner and supposedly kept it in mint condition (will know more when I go see it). He is "thinking" about selling it, so I don't know how much he wants. If this boat is in great shape, what kind of price should I be looking at? Also, I've heard not to go with a 2 stroke, which I assume the 1994 mercury is. Are there any major problem with 2 strokes I should be concerned with, or even this motor in particular? I really appreciate all the help you guys can give. Kayak fishing frustrates me and would love to get into a real boat

    In mid-November, I sold my 1998 16-foot Xpress with a 60-HP Yamaha and bought a 1998 Triton TR19 with a 175 HP Mariner EFI. I've had it out 5-6 times and enjoyed the ride and roominess plus the faster speed but last time I had it out, the trim went out as I was about to load it. It would go down but not up. We think it's the wiring harness and the relay. I've ordered the part to replace it ($150). Now I'm wondering. Am I going to have ongoing expense and issues like this? Did I mess up by trading up to this boat? I've even thought about trying to sell it and trying to find an 18-foot aluminum boat. It's a nice boat. I just want ease of use and to be able to hook up and fish when I want with minimal expense and maintenance issues.

    This summer I ended up having to have a new stator, and both power packs changed on my 89 v150. Befor they failed it ran 46mph at 5600rpm. Now since the repair 40mph and 5000rpm is the max it will do, plus its a bit sluggish to get on plane. Nothing has changed as to the set up on the boat. Compression is good as is the fuel and the carbs are clean. The repair shop has not impressed me, I took it back when I noticed the power loss. They supposedly checked it back out and the only suggestion they had was the plugs. They changed them at cost which wasnt bad, but it did nothing to help. I talked with them again friday and pretty much just shrugged their shoulders. I was hoping that maybe someone on here might have experienced something similar. Thanks G
