Thanks guys, that is what I thought, I do not think it has closed

cooling.
I believe it is priced right as it is by far the least expensive I have

seen
advertised but as the saying goes, if it sounds too good, it probably is.
I got pictures of the boat and it seems to be in very nice shape, but I
thought the engines might need to be replaced. Thanks for the info.

Unless the engines have been abused, I figure they should get 12-1400 hours
running. At 700, that is maybe 1/2 life. My 351W Ford in a river jetboat
has about 1300, and still runs fine. I run both salt and fresh. Closed
cooling, and aluminum exhaust manifolds.
