I think I can guess what those water jackets look like. There are lots of older boats for sale out there. If it were me I would keep looking. Your boat is too nice to cram a bunch of junk in it. JMO but that boat is either owned or serviced by someone who doesn’t care. Or both.

My bad. I really only looked at the engine pic. I didn’t see the full drive pic. iPhone problems.

When I I looked up the serial number, it listed having the reservoir (my ‘89 242 had the reservoir).

I agree though. There are plenty of other ones to find. I would look for a Magnum too.

Ok, I’m going to pass. The guy said it is winterized so I can’t even hear it run, wtf? How the hell do you expect to sell something like that?

my money is on overheating. That spaghetti wiring job is likely an attempt to shut the high temp alarm off.
