:o

Is yours still sunk? I would think you could rewire and repower with a used motor (like a Merc 150) for much less than $8400.

Was there other damage to your boat?

I lost the windshield and sustained damage to the bow rail, gunwale and all hatches. I determined that the drains from the bow back were clogged and allowed the boat to fill up and the pump gave out. Also, I believe the previous owner had cut the transom down to a 20" and this model year has no tub in the stern, only a removable plate. I got a non matching windshield I may install but it will be a custom fit. The hull is perfect and I could see that I did a great job of painting the bottom while viewing the boat bobbing upside down in the ocean. So, yes I will have to completely rewire, plus reglass the console and hatches. Plus, I really want an Etec vs a headache of a used motor. The boat mentioned above hat least has a rebuilt Johnson (not a Merc fan).

I found additional pics. Here is one of the transom. I agree, not worth 8400. Maybe $7500?

Also proves that my 88 got cut down from a 25" to a 20" which definitely contributed to it sinking.
