Default New Merc!!!

Well when i bought my boat last july... My buddy told me he was going to buy a boat also... (hes got lots of money).... So before i found one in my price range... He goes out and buys a super nice 2003 18 foot Nitro....Beautiful boat... Mercury 150 on it... Finally a few weeks later i found my boat... for like 1/3 of the price he gave for his...

First weekend i took my boat out.. we was sitting a beach swimming and i seen his boat start pumping water out of the bildge...I asked him what was up with that.. and he said when he stops really fast water comes in the back .... Well we sit there and drink a few beers... and i noticed that thing kicking on like 5 times.. and pumping TONS of water out... So i go up to his boat to feel if that asshat got the plug in.. Sure enough it was in... I told him his boat was leaking water somewhere.. And he assured me i was wrong...

I looked at the transom of the boat and the metalflake was cracking BAD....I told him right then that his transoms was busted....But then again... What do i know... Ive only been on the water for 24 years.. and this was like his 10th time ever being on the water lol...

Well i blew a piston a month ago.... And about the same time he hits something..and bust a prop... Well the insurance comes back and said there totalling the boat because the transom is busted...

And i just bought the motor and trailer for 2400 bucks
