1997 Ficht intruder 115 hp

[mattmann7]

Looking at a boat on Saturday with a 97 intruder 115. Compression if accurate as posted in add is good . 360 hours. Pros / cons , what to look for?

[mactlman]

likely not parts available to fix it?

If a 1997 model it will not be a DI FICHT but a carby engine. Parts readily available if that is what it is and as good as carby technology got the 60 degree V4 J/E. Post model number if you want to be certain how the fuel gets into the combustion chamber.

Yes. My bad. I have multiple boats bookmarked. 1998.

That model is a DI FICHT 1998 model, as mentioned parts are getting harder to get if you need them in the future.

I appreciate the input. From what I have read about the motor unless you get a boat with it for cheap enough to repower than pass on it which is what I will do.

That can be said for any 20 year rig.

or even a 10 year old one!!!
