the surveyor suggested that she not buy the boat, then brought her on his 40' sea ray and hit on her. she doesn't really know if she should trust him at this point. she trusts the mechanic more, he said it could be done without pulling the motors.

how much did it run you? I see you're in essex, I'm in edgewood. I can get her to take it there to fix if it is affordable. It will be in the off season though
