The engine was completely dismantled seven years ago due to head gasket problems.  I noticed a puff of white smoke on its last trip out, and it ran rough, but made it home.  Some months later it would not turn over, it was siezed solid.  After inspection the pistons had to be hammered out.  I spent £800 having new valve guides seats and valves re cut.  The block was honed, skimmed and all vessels were pressure tested.Due to years passing there is rusting on many engine components, and therefore, more expense and hassle to come so it is time to move on and clear the space.  There are many serviceable parts including the heat exchanger, starter, manifolds, head block etc.With regards to the hull there is damage to the gel coat on the port side  due to the boat being blown onto a beach through the night while camping.  The boat was made in 1993, the engine is a 3.7L mercruiser 175HPThe engine cover is worn and the hinges are broken.  The hull is generally sound but the general finish of the interior is tired, but usable, although it was in good working order until the engine problem.  The trailer has just had new wheel bearings last week to enable it to be towed away with confidence.  It is a braked trailer but the shoes have been removed,  The tow hitch unit and prop and throttle control unit were replaced recently.  The stern drive had a new bearing and bellows fitted just before the engine problemFURTHER PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE FOR EMAILING
