Think I may have found my boat but have questions

I agree on pic 9. Looks like rot under the thru hull. I would go thru it with a screwdriver trying to find rot. Two grand is high. You might recover some money selling the outdrive and motor. Give it a couple weeks then try again.

Also take the rod boxes out and check the stringers and floors (cross members) for rot. If i had done that on the 18 Fisherman i would have found rot and not have bought it.

Thanks so much guys. I'm going to wait a little bit longer. I actually looked at another boat today with a running johnson 120 for 1500 but damn near put my foot through the floor. Somebody took the caps off the transom and glassed it over. I shook the motor and the thing was all over the place and revealed where the glass had cracked all along the top of the transom...I definitely walked away from that
