You have a truck big enough to tow that?
I used to be big into Olds 442s myself, owned 17 of them,W30s,W31,H/Os you name it , I sold them all, boating is a very expensive hobby and just couldnt afford to do both cars and boats and boats are way more fun!
If boat has been sitting that long youll probably want to go thru both motors, you seem to already be handy with tools so you can probably freshen both of them up for around $5k so long as nothing is majorly wrong with either of them. Probably want to check drives as well,go thru the electrical,clean out gas tank,new belts,filters,impellors,fuel pumps and new batteries.
Interior looks new, just treat with something to keep material from getting brittle and protect from the sun. I would think you can have it back in the water for around $6000 total and have one bad ass ride! I always liked the Mirage boats, very sharp looking.
