Okay, thank you for the advice on that front.
TBH I want it more as a show of my skills and as a learning opportunity. I wasn’t aware they were boat-like as far as size and handling, but I don’t think it would be too much of an issue.
as far as gas etc goes I also am not even sure if the engine runs, apparently it’s sat for 15yrs and isn’t that pretty looking at the pics.
your warning about the interior work might be cause for concern, the below are the only pics available and the one of the interior doesn’t inspire confidence in the quality, neither does the engine bay for that matter but if I come pick it up I want to try and turn the crank, if it moves pretty easy great. If it sticks I might see if I can negotiate the price down (I plan to anyway but extra reason would be nice.)
I've never gotten a clear explanation on whether or not you can rebuild a stuck engine... but if I can rebuild it, great, if not I might do some kind of engine swap until I can get a replica crate engine or something.
