So ever since i seen one for sale and missed out I have been looking for a good fixer upper, i found a 22ft Hull is in good shape, appears to have been sitting inside, the add noted they had started replacing the floor which is what I figured I would be doing over winter regardless, but it has the 470, My question is are these engines really that bad or is it because they need to be properly maintained as most engines should be regardless.

I am looking for a budget boat to work on this winter and have ready for spring fishing and family time and figure this may be a good start and the fact I have always liked the looks of the starcraft aluminum boats.
