Yes, the boat floats.

The engines ran after it sunk. They were remote key'ed. Also, my marine mechanic ran the engines a couple of days after the fact. He did this because he said that engines can lock up sometimes.

If I was going to keep the boat I don't know if I would keep the engines. Maybe I would or maybe I would sell/part them out and use that money to but a 225 hp or 250 hp engine.

I say this because to continue using the Yamahas you probably need to replace the starters and alternators, as well as the gauges (possibly). I would not want to make this investment and then have issues down the road. However, if you are handy with Yamaha's and have access to spare parts, than you may opt to keep the engines and drive them into the ground.

Lastly, regarding the deck, the bow section is like a rock. The main deck has two soft spots. Also, the previous owner drilled a couple of needless holes where the t top goes into the deck. I patched it up but it could still look better. Also, there are some spinder cracks in the deck. I was planing on redoing the lower deck one of these days but did not get around to it. You could either use it as is, patch up the soft spots or replace it.

Hope this answers the questions.
