What I bought

Here is a side shot of it in the driveway after getting it home. It is pretty rough in places, but it is all there and is a mostly aluminum freshwater boat.

 

Rear

View of stern drive. Everything has that white crust on it as the boat was a slipped boat. The sterndrive is dirty, but shifted well. It will need new bellows installed though.

The electrical system is definately going to need some major work. I plan on mostly starting over as there have been 30 years of additions and deletions from the system.

 

interior.

There will also be a lot of interior work to be done. Both in the cabin and out.
