if it is not rusted out bad they are easy to fix up and with the motor is easy to set up and can take alot of abuse as long as you take care of it. my brother had one and it had a leak here is the funny part to fix it he used a piece of gum and a dime and never had a leak from that spot again LOL that is true.

well, its FREE! and my dad said that if it wasnt bad we were going to pick it up this week.
