Engine issues?

Yes, it is a Sea-Drive. Bracket looks good and works fine to lift the engine. Actually the exterior of the engine is very clean, so I'm stumped as to why it won't run. Maybe it's flooding.

I can fix anything as long as I can get parts, so that's not the issue. I just don't want to buy an expensive lawn ornament.

Right now I'm paying $5k for a boat that is as clean as any 20 y/o boat I've ever seen. Seems solid everywhere, no "dismount" holes, everything works except the engines. Unfortunately the engines are a big deal on a power boat.

Maybe it knows I'm a blo-boater and I have to offer some sacrifice?
