Purchasing an X ????????????????????

Post by GaryMayo »

John has found an engine, 1998, full controls to the pedestal, evinrude. He wants $2395 installed on the 2000 X. Says it is on a sailboat now that does not do any power boating. So little use as a big engine.

That makes the cost of the 2000 x at $13,005.00

John has pulled the seat and is making repairs to the fiberglass.

I emailed him telling him I would think about it.

What do you guys think?

What kind of Evinrude? What's the horsepower. Is it fuel injected? Is it at least a 25hp or better?

John lowered the price to $11950. The evinrude is a 60 hp made in 1998. That would make it a carb engine I would guess. I emailed him asking for more details.

Good deal Gary :o

Friend of mine purchased a 1997 :macx:

He paid 12.5K a few years back. It has a two stroke Nissan 70hp (carbureted).

He has put a lot of money in repairs and mods (including a new rubrail) He shares his experiences of installing that rubrail in a Youtube video, so if anyone is interested in viewing that one just ask or search the Macgregor list of videos there.

Had to sneek this one in. :wink:

Foreground is my 'Inseagal' (2007 :macm: ) and my friend Marks 97' :macx: 'No Stress'
