So last summer I found a 12 foot tinner on Kijiji for $180 that I jumped all over. Ever since been looking for a motor, trolling motor worked ok for the time being. Posted an ad on kijiji last week and got contacted by an old timer in Leduc with a 5hp Colman for a price I couldnt pass on. Sure they are chinese, but so is most stuff we buy these days. He used it to putz him and the wife around the lake on a 10 foot zodiak. Went in and picked er up today, changed all the fluids and spark plug, thing runs like a top. Cant wait for the ice to be gone to get out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/d777530054f81041b60876b06a092d58.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/32b4a5913631720b6476fd6c5b825af2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/dc72650181c83efd9eff91ee5985ac95.jpg

Good on you. Awesome find on both. They will bring you hoards of pleasure. The best part is you have a trailer for your cruise ship. Enjoy the new season when the ice thaws ( hopefully before July :sHa_sarcasticlol:) LOL

Enjoy the new season when the ice thaws ( hopefully before July :sHa_sarcasticlol:) LOLTrailer was from a purchase about 10 years agoon kijiji, I paid $400. Trailer was good, the 50hp on it was good but the boat was in rough shape, transom and floor were rotten so I scrapped the boat, sold the motor tank and steering hoom ups for $500 and kept the trailer and got a vin put on it, $100 Broke even on the deal and got a registered trailer out of it.
