Hope to have it ready to sell some time in july, will probably only take it out once to make sure everything's sound as the idea is to sell it on ASAP.
It's a 1990 Merc 50 going on, was a great little motor for me dad and the last person who had it so should be ok to sell it with.
Will give John the money for the P21 as soon as this is sold, which with any luck could be the poker run!
Only trouble is he doesn't seem to want to part with it!
Dad's ok thanks, got a backdraft, sea ray 28 and a sea doo at the mo,
Cheers, Max

Just read that again, if you meant what's going on the P21 I'll be lookin at an XR2 or similar, whatever comes up at the right price and time.
