OK got the boat and finally found time to see what i had bought....
well lets put it this way she would turn over but not start so I'm OK with that as long as the motor is not seized rite...

I start to poke around a figure the carbs must be a little dirty the motor has duel carbs so i take them off and holy **** look....

The Boat  D4776cca

Make sure you put a little grease in with the new impeller - otherwise you can crack the fins and get to do it all over again
