ok a very big thank you to all u guys im up early cause i cant sleep im hearing u loud and clear my main concerns is the condition of the hull the mechanicail side im not to stressed cause if the engine is alittle tired im happy to rebuild my self it only makes it a better boat in the end and its only the cost of parts 
 
as goes for the priceing i offered him 14500 fo it and he said 17500 is the lowest its about 7000 all up to get a boat shipped here and well if im in love with the look of the hull not much i can do about unless i cut my balls off
 
thid is a example ford here have a 302 celeland v8 the heads r only casted here u can get them for 50 bucks at junk yards ive seen them as much a 400 on ebay for sale in the states it goes with some imprted cars same thing im sure u no what im saying
 
as for the electronic kit i dont think we have suplliers for them here but i will look in to it maybe one of u nice guys can mail me one and ill wire u the money or list it on ebay and ill buy it lol
 
well now im sitting here drinking coffee and got a full packet of smokes hope they last me till i go
