I picked up this Ebko trihull by trading a camper I had to buy with my truck. Motor worked and the boat floated and they used it for fishing so I didn't see any problem with it. All in all I tested it a few times, it did float, motor ran rough, and it would not get on plane. Tried the motor first, I have that running smoothly with only the impeller, lower end seals and a new propeller left to work on. The boat was next, a puddle was noticed in the center under the trailer leading me to find a soft spot in the fiberglass underneath one of the rollers. This and 35 year old foam I believe is my biggest problem The boat is simply too heavy with soaked foam and thus began my complete rebuild.
