It was in nice shape when I bought it but of course with its age there were some issues. I began stripping it and sold the outboard before getting any real quotes or doing enough research. Shame on me for being hasty/ impulsive. The deck seems solid minus one small spot near the bow which isn't rot but unsupported fiberglass approx 4" diameter circle. I already had a 4 stroke purchased and was going to repower once it was refurbed. Then...... I found a ranger 2200 bay near home that needed a motor. Got a deal on it and unfortunately momma says ones got to go. I've kinda given up on redoing it myself. If I cant sell it I guess it will sit in the yard for a while longer. Hate to see it sit though.
