Thank you very much, Tom, Fitz, and Joe.

(Joe - my apologies about the individual links. I'm surprised the main album link worked, then! Thanks for cleaning up my post. I appreciate it).

It did appear that the deck was custom - I think it was of pressure-treated decking boards. I see that a lot of the original parts are missing, and not sure that I would be taking it on as a complete restoration project. As Joe said, make it into whatever I want it to be.

What I want one for is fishing the sound, taking the family (part of it anyway - got 4 kids and a wife!).

I have to read up on the motor. Is there a chance that thing still runs?

Re: the fuel filter. I was just curious if that's normal for it to be mounted there.

The steering cables are detached and I'm not sure what the status is of the console.

The boat has an FL registration on it.

I'll call the seller and get some info.

Thanks!
