[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 329749, member: 8516"] I think you made an excellent purchase. Dunno about flipping and looking over trailer, but I'd for sure follow the other posters' advice. If it was a search and rescue boat, you can bet that for a large part of its life, it had top-level mechanical attention. Even if the motor runs and pumps water great, I'd still replace the impeller. Just sound insurance precaution. The rest? Pretty much up to you. It is always my advice to use a boat for a while before you start any modifications. Not hard to tidy it up.There's some information in my rebuild thread at the bottom of this post that may help, but really, you are starting waaaay ahead of where I was. Nice work. [/QUOTE]
