make sure you have the 25 year old girl surveyed. you will most likely find moisture in the transom.

I will look it over for sure it looked pre dry inside engine bay clean ect i paid 3500 for it the drive and engine is basically worth what i paid for it if all fails. That is if they are in good shape. The drive passed pressure test but has tons of barnacles and corrosion on it cleaning it up to inspect it now.

The boat was dropped off other day it does run and i like the boat. HOWEVER The moron i bought it from didnt winterize it all the way looks like some anti freeze but intake is cracked near the thermostat. ofc i didnt see that when i was looking at it. The risers/block didnt have to much water in em i pulled all the drain plugs and dont see any cracks on side of engine or anywhere else but wont know of course til i am able to run on hose. For what i paid i knew there had to be something i THINK its ok but if it comes down to it il just find a decent motor and drop one in boats def worth it.
