    There's a few guys around Gun Lake who can help you find what you're looking for.

    In any case, invest in a nice, tall splash guard so you don't take a wave and sink it.

    Looks to me like it will be a very deep money pit.
    I know these things can be expensive, but a clean all round boat that has been looked after would be worth the extra.
    4 years sitting doing nothing is not good for any moving parts, then engine could be total rust inside !!! but then again it could be good.
    To me it looks like ity would be worth the money if 100% good and clean everywhere in running condition.

    just my thoughts
