Looks good from the pic. I've got a 77 with a 170, same longblock as a 470 and the most I've ever got out of mine was 42 mph. That was tached out, trimmed up and on salt water. Took it out fishin on the river last week and it only ran 38 WOT. When I brought it home I thought it wasn't in too bad of shape. But after I got it started it blew holes through the exhaust manifold and while working on the motor I saw some small holes in the transom that had red silicone in them. Doing some poking around I found the transom, stringers and motor bed were shot. I had to rebuild the entire rear end of it, and the motor, gimble and outdrive. Oh, and it was well worth the time and money spent. When buying any old boat check it out well. Not saying this one is like mine but in general check any boat out really well before buying.
