Yeah, you can get the keys everywhere, just get the number off the switch. That is a great price if the motor is in good shape, hard to find just a good motor for that. I don't think you can go wrong with it. |

If there are no serious issues with either, it sound like a winner. Replacement parts for these motors are relatively cheap; aluminum jon boats will last a lifetime unless abused. The obvious things come to mind- get all the requisite safety items- never skimp on those, balance your load, get plenty of practice,, and above all, have fun. |

$1000 is a deal if it has all the paperwork. My old LT cost me that alone, at it has been well used. |
