Re: Any idea on model and age before I buy this

That is for you to decide, old boats, like a lot of things, have no "Book" value, it's what it's worth to you, and what the seller is prepared to take for it, it's that simple, if you like the boat and it's in your price range think about it, if you are unsure, look for something else.

Re: Shakespeare Ford Essex V6

Why bother ?? it's a lot of messing about for little or no return, you have the best cooling system available for free (what the boat is floating in !!) . if it was a good idea some or all the major engine manufacturers would be doing it.........

Re: Bilge pump ??

You should always run bilge pumps with there own outlets, run them as two individual systems, you could get all sorts of problems if you try to amalgamate two pumps to one outlet, do it properly , bilge pumps are safety equipment.

The ones Austin got where American " Taylor made " brand, they are top quality but a little expensive, however, these one seem really cheap, even compared to ordinary fenders, would like to see them before I decided.
