Jeff, If you're talkin' to 'em, see if a sea-trail is doable while I'm up there ... for purposes of talkin' to them, I'm only your scout...final deal will be contingent on YOU goin' over the boat, sea-trial, etc, etc...were I you, I'd have a good marine tech of my choosing to run the motor, check compression and lower-unit oil for water intrusion(you'd pay for that, but it could be VERY telling ;))...

As far as the gas $$ ...let's get it done and then you can send me a check or somethin' ;) ...
