OK you ask for some help. How about the absolute most boat for what you have to spend!
84' Ranger 372 duo console - 89' Mariner 150 Magnum II with stainless hi 5 prop 75# 24 volt Motorguide trolling motor
Lowrance HDS 7 Gen 2 with Side Scan / Down Scan at helm and Hummingbird Helix 7 with Down Scan up front.
All new carpet and new seats, also just finished a extended matching deck. Both windshields are less than one year old.
Boat runs good but as with most of these older carb engines they have a mind of there own.
