TRAILER.I ACQUIRED THIS BOAT WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING IT INTO A CRABBING BOAT. MY BUSINESS IS TAKING OFF AND I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE TIME. THE ENGINE RUNS WELL. I CAN START IT SO YOU CAN HEAR IT RUN. IT NEEDS A LOWER UNIT (MISSING). I WAS TOLD MARINER AND MERCURY ARE THE SAME LOWER UNIT. THE BOAT IS USABLEONCE A LOWER UNITIS INSTALLED, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.THE HULLAND TRANSOM SEEM SOLID. THE SEATS ARE USABLE BUT WEATHERED. I INSTALLED A NEW KEYED STARTER SWITCH SO AS TO BE ABLE TO RUN THE ENGINE. IT STARTS, IDLES AND REVS WELL. COMPRESSION IS GOOD IN ALL THREE CYLINDERS. THE CONTROLS WORK AS THEY SHOULD INCLUDING THE STEERING.THERE IS A FIXED 18 GALLON? GAS TANK IN THE BACK OF THE BOAT.NONE OFTHE GLASS ISCRACKED. THE BOW EYE IS LOOSE. I THINK IT WAS OVER TIGHTENED.
