I've worked on car wiring for years. No way this is more complicated than that.
Pretty close to the same, but also not. Especially outboards.

The fact this guy is using photo filters to glam up his boat shows that he is already not being straight forward.
Have you seen this one in person yet? If not, don't waste your time with it unless you can get it for around $500. Here is why:
1) Previously mentioned soft spot, this one has been discussed ad nauseum already.
2) Non working motor. Could be a wiring harness, could be something else. You don't know how it runs, compression numbers, etc. Assume the motor is going to need significant money to get going, possibly replacement. Could be $100, could be $1000+ to get a working motor on there. You just don't know.
3) Filters. Not the engine kind, the photography kind. I am skeptical of CL posts, after wasting a lot of my time and learning through experience. The best people to deal with are the ones that are honest about their boat. The fact this guy is using photo filters to glam up his boat shows that he is already not being straight forward.
If you are willing to take a risk for $500, go for it. If nothing else, the trailer and parts will get you that money back. There are a lot of Glastron owners around from that era that would be interested in original parts off the boat. If you are looking for something ready to go now without unknowns, increase your budget and keep shopping.
