I put new reed valves and blocks in it, stater, trigger, flywheel magnets, plugs, wires, carb jets, conlrol box, and cables, new fuel lines, starter, new battery, it runs pretty darn good now. Still am between jobs and just cant afford to run it like i can my 75 hp. Anyway the transom is strong with the angles in there, i guess, the floor is solid, the fuel tank cover needs some reinforcing, but is a good boat, and as far as im concerned its well worth the $ 2500
