"When this boat was for sale a year ago, 1engine ran, but the other was not. has that been remedied? You also mentioned a problem with a thru hull caused some flooding, resulting in about 2" of water in the salon, does that mean the engine room was…"

"Hi, Im in Charleston SC, but I have dockage on the Potomac and Im pretty handy with these V-8s. 2 questions, whats wrong with port engine, and how much will it take for you to let her go?
 
Last thing In need is a project but Ive let a few slip…"
