Buying Advice

[supraconfused]

Greetings.Your forum saved me from a huge $ mistake. I found a 84 Supra with 305 hours and I went to look at it last night. Damn thing was perfect except....The engine mounts were rotted with the front starboard one being collapsed. My question is can you run the boat this way and what are the risks? I wouldn't do anything till fall if I can buy it right? What is right?

I am just getting back into boating and want a bomb around inboard to throw my dogs in.

I live in central PA so I will need a shop to do the repairs? Any ideas?
Thanks.

Do notunder any cirumstances drive a boat with collapsed motor mounts/stringers.

That is what I figured. Better pass on this one. What a shame to engineer them that way. Thanks.

If you can get the boat for 3-4k you can have it repaired and still come out well ahead. Keep looking, they are out there
