You have what looks to be direct burial wire. You might as well call it
solid wire because it doesn't look to be capable of bending easily. The
ends
of the wires are severely corroded and the crimps don't look too good. At
the very least the cable ends should be sealed with liquid electrical tape
or something similar. The wire itself should be finely stranded tinned
copper and the connectors could be soldered if the wires could be rigidly
supported for 6" or so from the end. (There are different schools of
thought
on this). It just doesn't seem right to be running wire in an aluminum
boat
in the absolute wettest part of the bilge. Other than that it looks really
good.
Tell you what - why don't you go up to Nova Scotia and "do it right".
I'll watch and learn. :)
I'll fly if you buy.
