*sigh* I thought so too! At least it looks pretty in the driveway! I bought it cheap and got my monies worth, the boat had "no rot" and the engine just needed "wiring and oil" and it would be ready to go. Everything on the engine is hand tight, none of the valve rockers are pre-loaded right, the engine bed stringers are rotten and basically dirt, and every piece of hardware is loose or doesn't have nuts on it. But hey, nothing people haven't fixed before! I'll take a few months going over the major stuff, hopefully I can be testing it out to see if it's worth burning the summer on, or wait till winter to get into it and not miss out on other summer adventures.

If the photo represents the “project”, it looks like you’re starting with a pretty clean example of an F-233!
