I put a deposit down on a 99 33 outlaw with the HP 500's. Supposedly has only 130 hours. The boat was neglected cosmetically and has sat for 2 years. The fuel was removed and oil/gas filters changed and the fuel pumps. they say it runs and sounds great. I know the valve springs need changing on these engines but is there anything else you can think of I should specifically check? It has the 25 mirage 3 bl on it , from what I read this is the right size props... I've used the search on here and believe I've read every dang post there is! Most of the post are older though and I just wondered if anything has popped up in the last few years. I appreciate the feedback.

My son finally got out of college so I thought i'd add 6' of boat

Can't answer any of your questions but from one father to another, congratulations on getting him through. My daughter blew my 38 Donzi in a wedding chapel.

Well that sucks...

That's from Grand Lake. You might post in that section. I have been there several years and do not remember seeing it tho.

On this vintage of engines, replace the lifters too.
