Ok, brought the boat home. Needs some TLC. Sat out without a cover for a while. I was able to hear it run. He had the adapter to hook a garden hose to the lower unit. Sounded good. Couldn't really get on it. But, it fired right up. The trailer is titled as a '90 (homemade) EZ-Loader. Tires are ehh, may need to be replaced soon.
I have about 900 invested. Traded some items that were just collecting dust. It was an even trade, but that was the best cash offer i had for the items that were traded..
Here are a few more pictures.
Couple spots that worry me. Transom seems "soft". Granted its a heavy motor attached to fiberglass(?). Maybe a little give is normal, IDK.. Noticed the aluminum had a crack in it and some oxidation?? What does a transom usually run, ballpark? If it ended does need to be done.
And the keel,hull area. Seems a bit beat up. I hope this isn't as bad it it looks to me? Like rusted out strut towers on a car. Little outsude of my comfort zone..
