Bought a used crownline boat, was told plenty of lies. Boat was in nice condition and showed well . Was Told It Was Just Gone Through,Tuned Up And The Out Drive All Rebuilt With New U Joints,bellows ect all just done and that he water tested the boat. I bought it and the first outing was terrible! Boat started fine but any attempt of throttle the boat bogged and missed.. pulled it out and took it to a boat mechanic friend. Changed the fuel filters,and deturmand the plugs and wires ect were all original. So we changed them all. Cap,wires,plugs,filters,oil change. Took boat out ran perfect, except any attempt to turn the prop free reved. Took prop off and hub was shot!! Another trip to town as ND another $200 for a new prop and hub and it runs out great. ......almost.....yep every thing but the growling gimble bearing. .....so yea what a nightmare! So much for the so called driveline rebuild and so called turn e up. Be warned. ..
