i have been offered a 87 254 bee for cheap i would be buying the motor and taking the boat. i know that it can get expensive to redo a boat but for what ever reason i like the little boat.the boat will need work no doubt about that heres a list of cons:the transom is week so i assume the stringers braces are as well. the gelcoat is faded but not gone the front casting deck is rough. the carpet will need replacement.the pros: the floor feels solid as a rock.the motor runs it just needs a tune up and carbs cleaned.the trailers in good shape its just not quite the correct size.im open to your opinions good or bad and would it be a viable to try a pour in transom if i do decide to buy it
