Just got back from checking out a 1960's Sleekcraft. The owner bought the boat for the trailer. It is missing the water interchane and the stern drive. I've got my own trailer and a son-in-law who will do the work (and I supply the cash). The owner says I can get a stern drive on ebay for $200...The serial is SF 235 V69

+1 on a clear title. What is a "water interchane"?

Biggest problem with older boats are rotted stringers and transoms, so make sure they're okay. I doubt if you can find any stern drive anywhere for $200, so research that first.
