Whoa there...

What kind of water has this boat been operating in?

If salt water, that engine, while still running, could be corroded to the nth degree before actual self-destruction.

Not all marine FE's were reverse rotation.

Marine FE's didn't always get the 'good' parts in the way of heads, intakes, rods. They were meant for running in a fairly limited rpm range for longish periods. So don't expect medium-riser topends or CJ-heads.

Yes, it could be a good deal, but it could turn out to be an anchor in a boat, waiting for the chain to be attached.
