Thanks for the replies, good thing i asked.... 
 
Ok i will disconnect the VRO. 
 
I did the transom test thoroughly and it is rock solid...very...will fix cap. 
 
The motor powerhead was rebuilt by the mechanic who owned it... 
i don't think it was run much since the rebuild a couple years ago. 
 
The boat was used as a shrimp boat and has a lot of gouges and scrapes. 
The deck is soft in front of the console but not bad.  That will be a project for later. 
my goal is to get it in the water first..make it pretty after that. 
 
I did find the correct wiring harness with the red plug and an OMC ignition switch  
and i got it mostly wired...just need to get a battery and hook that up and test and crank. 
 
I previously rebuilt a delapidated 1973 Winner with 305 OMC inboard..so i know what to expect and i like that sort of pain.  It came out beautiful. 
 
The trailor is bad off. 
 
First item i bought was a boat cover. 
 
thanks for being there no doubt i will have some questions in the next few days.
