I have had a magnet charger for over 40 years. I have learned that although the magnets
do loose strength over time they still retain enough so the motor will start and run fine.
If you can find someone to recharge your flywheel great, but don’t bail on this motor
If you can’t.
Without knowing the exact value of your condenser a value of .25 mf in most cases
should be close.
You should test the coil windings. If they are not open its worth giving the coil a try
even without knowing the secondary value.
Need to see a picture of the mag to let you know of other possible coil options if necessary.
Spark plug wires look original. Good sign. Motor could be low hours.
Tubs.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
