I purchased this boat as a project and since then I have had a new rebuilt 455 olds big block engine installed. It does need a paint job and a battery. If you bring a battery we can get it to fire right up. I have 3 times my asking price in this setup. The extra parts are worth a couple grand alone. They include 2 blocks, set of heads, several Pistons and rods, intake, cranks, cams and much much more! Boat and trailer both have clean and clear titles. No Reserve!!!
