Dave R is correct. Sunbird boats are the cheapest built boats out there. I have a friend who got a brand new one in 93 ($14,000) and five yrs later he sold it for $2500. He used it mostly in the salt, washed it after every trip and the stringers rotted. The gas tank leaked and when he pulled the hatch, he found the rot. Every screw came loose. Junk boat.
Jeeps are easy to swap, find another boat that was a fresh water boat. If this boat is in Conn, I would bet it has a lot of salt in it's past. Good luck.
