Question on Boat Purchase (Now With Pics on Pg 2)

[joeithaca00]

This is one active site, I typically use Ctfisherman.com as my advice column but you guys seem to have a lot of experience you bring to the table. I'll work on getting pictures for the weekend.

Also the boat was sunk for about 3 hours. It went down at the dock, they lawyer who owned it knew the scuppers (I think) was letting water in and he didn't have an automatic bilge pump installed, he was actrually paying a kid to go down to the dock and turn on the bilge pump. Fortunately where it went down the marina has a crane that they pulled it out with.

I wouldn't even try and get this motor started, it's clean but the salt water probably shot everything in there. I would probably try and sell the lower unit (probably the only salvagable part).

Anyone know of any V20 CC for sale in Connecticut or the northeast. Still looking for a project boat but all of your advice makes me want to try a smaller restoration.
