Could be-

I think you would still need a raw water pump, bell housing, motor mounts, a fresh water cooling kit and dispose of the hull. I learned the hard way that all those little things add up and you might be better off paying for a complete drop in.

+1 on the price, unless your thinking of flipping the trailer or keeping it (which will cost money and time to register or what not) i think its going to be just cheaper to buy a new drop in.....

If the glass work in the picture is all that's wrong with it, it's a pretty easy fix! Jeff, you should fix and flip it!! Where is it?

yeah its up in Massena ny. He keeps or rather kept it at the marina a few miles down the road from my house. If anyone is serious about a possible purchase I would be willing to go and get some pics of it , norfolk is only about 15 mins from me. I was eyeing that boat at the marina after it was struck thinking about the engine but have already got one. in any case thought I's trow it out there ,
