    Hey guys.
    I have just received a boat from a friend. (PICTURES ATTACHED)
    It's in great shape on the outside, and the inside is missing chairs.
    He doesn't have the key to the boat or anything, but the engine looks like it's in good condition.
    It has an amazing body and I would love to restore this boat.
    It's a 12 ft boat with a MARINE engine

    Is it possible to fix this bad boy up? If so, what is the estimate cost? If you can help me out, I would compensate you for your time and step by step instructions.

    What do you mean that it is a "MARINE" engine? It's a Mercury ...

    You should look for local estimates. In the US, with labor costs, it wouldn't be worth paying for.
