Hi everyone my name is Philip and I'm new to this forum, I just recently brought a 1975 Invader Executive Elite for $350 on Craigslist that has been sitting for 4 years. The exterior of the boat was in good condition, the interior was a mess, everything had to go. The motor is a MercCruiser V8 188hp, it doesn't start when I turn the key, but that was expected because the boat has been sitting there for 4 years. I'm guessing it's a starter, or wire issues. I will have a lot of questions and this site seems very helpful. I'm very excited with this project. I've been looking at some of your works and you guys are amazing, I hope my boat will turn out like yours. Here are some pics.

Hi there, did you put a wrench on the crankshaft pulley to check if it froze?
check the oil ?
Whats the plan ?
