5.0 V8 Bayliner Capri 21', any advice?

[Challenger84]

I 'm looking at a 90' Bayliner Capri open bow 21 footer with a 5.0 V8 (he told me it was a GM motor) and a OMC Cobra outdrive.
The interior will need to be changed but the power house runs good.(on the muffs) didn't get a chance to take it out yet.

The boat is my friends boat and he can't keep it any longer.
I have a few properties I can park the boat and work on it.
He is willing to let me have it as long as I take him out fishing a few times once I get her up and in decent condition.

I was wondering if there is anything else to look out for?

I will be doing a compression test and spark test on it.

Do these hulls have foam that can be water logged?
I do not see any signs of wood rot.

By the look of it the hull doesn't have any scratches just faded by the sun.
I'm just looking for a bigger boat that I can fish on in the bay.
The interior will need to be removed and replaced maybe with just a few folding chairs.

I'll have a few pictures up soon.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

yes there is foam under the deck. make sure the deck isnt soft either. Despite what others will say, theres nothing wrong with that engine or outdrive. they dont make them anymore but you can still find plenty of parts and stuff. I have the same engine and drive. its a no-brainer if hes going to give it to you, take it! You can buy replacement seats and the rest of the interior you can re-cover yourself.
