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.

OMG, that means that in reality, it hasn't been broken in yet!

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

My personal experience with the small (4-5hp) Chrysler I had, and the
stories I saw, prompt me to recommend that you dump it the fastest way
possible and get an outboard that will keep on running, particularly as
you're indicating long distances.

At the moment, my preference would be the 9.9 Yamaha 4-stroke
high-thrust, extended leg. Hear very good things about it and that it's
better-supported in exotic locations than Honda (which I have and love,
except for the dearth of service locally). The next size up would give
you more reserve power, but be quite a bit heavier. For reference, we
have an inboard diesel of 16-20 hp (depending on which measure is
chosen), but cruise fairly quickly (5.5-6 knots) at a 5 hp throttle
setting. Oh, any 4-stroke will probably be too heavy for the existing
bracket.

If that's not your primary motive power, my recommendation stands but
for the size & prop.
