Well, there are unlimited possibilities. What's great about having a bare boat like yours is you can modify it to fit your needs perfectly. Fortunately, there are a lot of brilliant, creative, and helpful people on this site. How long is the boat? looks 12'? 10hp should push it along just fine. Ive been looking for a 12' v-hull for an old 6hp Evinrude I have. Guess the first think you could do it check for loose rivets, cracks, corrosion, and even fill it with to the water line with water to check for leaks.

That's awesome, there is nothing worse then a bunch of random ugly holes in your boat. Sure does sound like a good deal.
