Need some advice?

[SkunkBoat]

Illinois ,so fresh water boat...if it didn't come from Florida... trailered boat... no bottom paint, 3 big pluses. any motor more than 6 years old is a roll of the dice...more than 20 a writeoff. it will run until it doesn't.

Check transom,deck and stringers for softness.

I think old enough to not have foamed in fuel tank. good . might have saddle tanks??

Old trailers can need more part$ than a new trailer but fresh water so maybe ok.Trailer looks newer than boat.
check for rusted springs,axles, BRAKES, hubs, LIGHTS. Try turning some lugs with a wrench. That will tell you alot.

Pix look good.
