Here it is in all its glory as it sits but come spring it will be back
in the water after 20 plus year sleep

Alot of the interior and such have been stored in side and is in very
good condition and most just needs a good cleaning.

it has Chrysler on the stern so if anyone knows anything about these
can give me any info I would be greatful

Chrysler has not been in the outboard business since 1984. If you can
get it to start and run it may be OK for a while, otherwise it will
need to have the carburetor rebuilt at the very least. It might be
cheaper to look for a used outboard in good running condition.

Regarding the boat, virtually everything that moves will need to be
cleaned and lubricated. If you have a protected body of water nearby
try to get someone experienced to help you put things back together,
launch it, and check everything out. Get some day sailing
experience, working up to over nighters, before planning anything more
ambitious.
