Hello, My name is Samuel. My wife just bought this same boat in green and white. The man who sold it to her on Facebook, failed to tell her that the boot separating the inboard outboard Moter was dry rotted. This was really unfortunate, Is there any way you could give me a price if it is reasonable? My wife is turning 50 next month and this model of boat was the firstt boat she ever went out on We would take the motor with it, but we are going to use it at our boat slip here in Ohio. The lake we dock at is a trolling motor lake only. If there is any way you could help in this situation weather it's me buying the boat or getting advice on how to fix the one, we have I'd really appreciate it. My Father-In-Law had this same exact boat and when she told me of the purchase, she made to try to Suprise me it was a little bitter that the man took her (MY) money and new if the boat were to go into the water it would sink. If you could help anything would be appreciated. -Samuel-
