BEAUTY IS ON THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER !!!!

Some years ago, I loved rebuilding stuff, because I loved working on things, always thinking it was cheaper to rebuild, WRONG 99% OF THE TIME !!!

But I enjoyed working on things, that way I got to know them, and that was fun for me.

If you really want to spend MANY hours working on this boat, in which I see NO OTHER logical thing but to mount an outboard, period, well, we are here to support you in all the questions you have, at least I am.

BUT, I think you have got a good deal, and you can even make some money from it if you sell it in pieces. So, you are still ahead.

If you definitely don`t want to spend MANY hours on it, just sell it, and get you a good running one, and perhaps you could be fishing this next w.e.

DO NOT dump it man, there is always someone who likes and enjoys fixing things, just pass it forward for the same amount you spent.

I got mine ready for fishing, for 6200, less electronics. I am glad I did. The same month I got her, went to the water three times and it paid for itself right then.

If you add all the hours you`ll spend on her, let`s say at a modest rate of $10 an hour, you will VERY SOON approach $6200 when you add this to the parts and supplies money you spend.

Matematically speaking; SELL forward....
If you really want to fix it yourself, I understand, I have done it myself...
