I`m sure construction and materials varied year to year and model to model.I`m not crazy about Chrysler motors They became force outboards and parts are probably available though you may have to search a little, There are Chrysler/Force dealers on the net.Force is not in production any more.I`m sure not an expert but if the boat is useable at $500 Probably is a good price. Check it over good maybe put some water in it see if it leaks or put it in the water and see what happens. Good luck, Spike
