The guy that gavce it to me bought it about 10 years ago, all taken apart with the engine peices scatered inside, then took it down and had the entire thing rebuilt. His son ran out of gas while out one day, and its been sitting ever sence. (6 years)

The trailer is shot along with the control box and cables, but the engine looks very clean under its cowl.

It was stored out in the beautiful needles sun, its not roted at all, so should be an easy restore.

yeah I though so too, but theres a skag on the bottom of the boat, and it looks perfectly fine. I figured its just paint coming off
