The engine can be confirmed by a dealer if you are worried about the shape it is in.
The boat - unless it was done by someone you know, or a professional marine service than the quality of the work is only as good as the word of the person who's telling you they did it. If that person is a complete stranger, its up to you whether or not you trust them.
IMO - if the restore was done by a private party, then that person should have loads of pictures of their work. I've just finished restoring my 2nd seacraft and for both projects i have hundreds (maybe thousands) of pictures from start to finish. Should i ever sell one of my SC's, my pics will prove the work i've done and the manner in which i did it.
