Default I had a 96 Corsair Outboard...

The boat was bought in 2001, and we had to replace the flooring and rugs. Also a couple of stringers. Engine was an Evinrude 112 HP 2 stroke, also cheaply made.

I would say that buying a 25 year old Sunbird Corsair, even if it is an even up trade, will quickly turn into a "throwing good money after bad" proposition.

I didn't know what a piece of junk it was, and I bought it from a "friend" who was selling it on consignment at his marina. Happy with my new boat, but wish I had never bought the old boat in the first place.

I am not handy, but I also would not want to have to tear the boat and motor apart, and hope that I can find the parts for the motor especially. Good Luck.
