Thanks for all the great advise. I have not went and looked at it yet because it is an hour away from the house and I wanted to get as much information on it before I went to look at it. As Kaz said the motor is the big chunk of the boat and if that goes how much do you stick back in it. This is the third owner and he is asking $7400 for it. He said that the engine and lower unit was gone through this past fall at a cost of $5000. The jelcoat looks excellent like it been garaged from looking at the pictures. I don't know if i want to go that big of engine but it seems like every boat has a 175-200-225 hp now. Thanks again for the advise.
