    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    that merc sounds like a deal, prob needs carb work. Compression is key, as is sark. My new spark box cost over $300. If h gets it running and still is around the $1000 mark - look into it.

    Transom repair on Lakeland fiberglass.

    Marine epoxy/fiberglass in toilet tank?

    Good chance while doing work the crack will fail completely. Be very careful with the parts and the repair will be to fresh surfaces, then do the interior work.
