And with the cost ofthe pump impellers being very low, I suggest
replacing them yearly until you gain a feel for how fast they wear
depending on the type and frequency of use they get, the kind of water
they are used in (water with lots of sand stirred up tends to damage the
impeller over time)

I have to say that I enjoy working on things like the boat.
Unfortunately, I want to do more to it than I can justify if I am just
going to sell it. A fellow I know is interested but he is not looking
for a perfect boat. He just wants something cheap to go fishing with in

You're too far along to give up on it now. It sounds like a good boat.
