hello,
First of all I would like to begin by saying thank god I found a forum like this. I'm considering purchasing a project boat. its a 1986 searay with non working mercruiser 140.
I went too look at it today, well this is what i found just by looking at it. I'm no boat guru.
*rotted floor, all deck needs to be replaced.
*outside hull in good shape, no breaks tears rips from what i can see.
*engine unknown. guy says he never worked on it but includes extra non working motor, and outdrive.
*trailer in good shape.
can you guys tell me what i need to look for in the hull. I know that the floor is bad but what about underneath it?
I have access to most tools needed to cut and replace the floor even a 4'x 4' CNC machine.
I know nothing about boats but I figure i could learn as i go with this project if i decide to get it. they are asking 500.00 for all boat,trailer, extra parts.
