My 400 euro abandoned boat gets a newish engine | S4 E22

Abandoned for 2 years. Drifting and derelict. When I found this 1988 Beneteau First 305 the engine was in bits and the soul boards were floating.

I have given myself 4 weeks to get this boat back in the water. Last week we sanded the hull and took the old engine out. This week I drive through the night to Athens to pick up a replacement, fit it and get it running. I hope you enjoy it.
