..saw the ad on Craigslist and emailed/spoke to the former owner...are the claimed hours on the 280 legit?

There is an hour meter on the dash that shows 47 hours, installed by Al Stoker when motor was installed. Haven't hooked it to computer to verify yet but I believe the guy.

Thanks all for the praise. So excited to get it out on the water.

If your lower is a small shaft I have a couple of props that would work really well for you, if you're interested.

I have a 23 Mazco, a 24 4 blade, and a merc 28p 3 blade.

I have 2 great props that I kept thinking/hoping to get another hot rod some day......A 4 blade 24 Mazco that Mazar made special for Rick Gilman to drag race and a 29 3 blade Mazco that we tried to duplicate 3 times and the original was the best. The 29 runs as fast as a labbed ET.
