Default Engine/turbo/tranny swap here we come!

Ive been asked by my step-(aunt) to broker her 26' foot wodden boat that she bought about 5 years ago for like 30k! She said she wanted at least 9k for it. She wants to get rid of it badly. She also said anything over 9k she will give to me. So, naturally, im gonna try to sell it for 12 or 13k

^ ooo! yes, if I sell that boat for 15k I def will. For those of you who missed out or never saw it, here is a pic of what it would look like. Yes, that is an actual pic of my car but the wheels are chopped on.
