Won it on an ebay auction:
I kept bidding on it for months with a maximum bid of 330$ and was pretty surprised when I won.

Q1

An ETEC 50 HP, no doubt, since it's a white hull

Sure hope it is Hypalon or a close relative to it and not PVC. The PVC ones do not have a very long lifespan, mine is already deteriorating.

Guaranteed 3 years so I hope it does not fall apart in year 4.
I don't know if it floats but it does hold air for a least 4 hours

Judging by the pic I think the chartplotter is broke.
That appears to be a living room of sorts........slightly off course?

That looks like fun Bertrand....cool sail kit.
I got a really cheap sail kit for a Portabote off ebay - and I dont even own a portabote yet !!
Terry - up here in the NE (Q1 is even more north than I am) we are too cloudy to get much UV....my cheap PVC boats are >5 years without any degradation. Still, maybe you can talk Ruth into spinning out a nice blue Sunbrella cover for it..
