Chucky . . . engine looks decent (missing some hoses and a few little things). It has a TRS Gimbal Housing which is MINT. The boat didn't come with a drive, but I have a friend that has a TR outdrive for sale with a prop off a 23 (that had a 350), so I might pick that up if price is right.

Jeeez "Big", I thought you would at least feel a little bit bad, or maybe a teeny bit guilty about your find, however I see nothing to indicate that!!!

Great job and I'm looking forward to the rebuild porn! Good luck!

Funny you mention it . . . I actually tried to give the owner some money, but he wouldn't take it. This was his brothers boat who had passed away a while back. The owner was thrilled that I knew the make and model of the boat and that I was gonna "restore it and use it". He said "just call me when you are done and give me a ride". Sorry if I sound like I am gloating about the free part . . . not trying to rub it in . . . just celebrating about the condition (which was a total surprise). The more I dug yesterday . . . the more I smiled. Took 2.5hours and 3 dump runs to get the junk and leaves out of the cockpit.
