I have an opportunity to grab an 83 islander with 140 merc in pretty good condition. I have been picking through the forums and am slightly concerned about the outdrive issues. I am currently an OB owner so IO is new to me. What do I need to look for? I am handy with a wrench and this will be in my barn for at least this year while I get it hooked up with all my equipment. I want an islander but I am not necessarily hoping to do a motor & outdrive replacement. This boat is currently water ready I just want to be prepared for future projects and cost if I decide to pull the trigger. Anything particular on these models I should check before buying?
Thanks
Jon
