    Here are pictures. Is it even worth trying to revive? Fyi, I bought the boat, motor, trolling motor, brand new trailer for $100! Needs all cabling and wiring replaced but...

    Got it. Condition or history completely unknown. It was last registered in 2013 according to the tag on the boat itself.
