I forgot to ask, is it 200hr on rebuild (or reconditioned)?

And whey are you pulling them? Diesel conversion?

I aplogize mr elevman if you posted this eariler in another thread but I missed it. What happened to your 36?

I was picturing a f series boat but now I am guessing is wood and too far gone?

Bummed to hear it's going to the chain saws. Can't it be donated to some one or some organization, like a high school shop class as a project?
