Finally got the boat all cleaned up and did a little Marine Tex epoxy repair to the keel where there was some chipped up and exposed fiberglass to make sure it was sealed up good. I put it in the water yesterday and wow, this thing is incredibly stable and a great fishing boat. The 90 hp Mercury is pretty quiet and seems to run pretty good. It's really clean under the hood so I'm sure it's pretty low hours. The motor hangs lower than I would like for where I am on the river so I might go with a jack plate to be able to raise it up if I choose. I definitely want to get a windshield for the console and the grab rail that goes up and over the windshield so if anybody knows of a place that does stainless grab rails, let me know.
