Hey guys , new to the forum and new to the boating community.
I work for a local automotive mechanic shop just outside pensacola ,FL.
I recently purchased a 95 speedster . in in okay shape , no hull damage and sundamage is fair , came with engines removed , the seats out and re done already. Trailer is in shitty shape though .
I'm not a big fan of the BIG boats but these little "go karts " are fun , this thing is 5 yrs younger than I , and I remember absolutely loving the ride .
So currently it appears I have all components except carbs , and one prop assembly . I got this vessel for a steal , the gentlemen was going to restore it but hurt his back lifting out the engines and was forced to sell , came with 2 new starters and engine mounts , few electronics .
Now BEFORE I drop some coin on gaskets sets and such . Anyway aside from and visual inspection , can I check anything with the engines to ensure they are good ? I am a very experienced auto tech , but do not know a damn thing about marine .
This is my first boat but I have all professional tools and the ability to make this happen !
Thanks for the patience guys
