Novice one Welcome!!

A couple of other things to check on. The transom around the sterndrives is a great place for rot.... I'd look around them for soft spots.

Also your fuel tank, if original, is 26 years old and you may want to replace that.

The teak is cosmetic and will come back real easy. The hull could be wet sanded then compounded to get the gloss back. I did that just because I couldnt stand looking at the faded hull .... even though at some point it will get paint/ Gel coat ....

Yes Trayder I said Gel Coat [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Is this going to be a project boat or is it more or less Turn key???
