Thanks guys.

Yes it floats! It's an outboard, but it takes a motor with a 20" shaft because of the way the transom is shaped. I saw Mr. Sandman's post last week, but realized those engines have 25 " shafts. It had a 150 Mercury on it until the owners grandkid forgot to put the 2stroke oil in it. The boat is a bit old - 1978 but up until 2 years ago - well taken care of. The hull is in good shape and the transom solid. The grandfather kinda gave up on the boat and unloaded it very cheap. He said he wanted it to used well, enjoyed, and taken care of. I guess I qualified.

I'm sure as the winter progresses I will have tons of questions. Thanks for you offer MJ I'm sure I will take you up on it.
