If you may be interested, I can review them and even pull a couple of bearing caps to inspect the cranks. Would be a way to replace the siezed one and get back on the water quickly.
By the way, you got a hell of a deal. Brian Yes I do believe that they are the original Merc's. I may be interested in your engines, let me know what you find and how much you are looking to get out of them! Thanks! Billy |

Artie I will for sure be on lake erie! I used to dock at Gem Beach on Catawba, so I will probably go back to that area when I get her running, although I will NOT be leaving this boat in the water. My trip to PIB will be a lot quicker :D Thanks, Billy |

Plus the ride over from the Bay early in the morning is usually smooth as glass. That was great for my last boat, but the more I read about these type of boats is they actually like a little chop? Should be great for normal Erie conditions. lol Im pretty sure it is, but who knows. It does have stock bolsters. No holes in the deck for post seat mounts. Will inspect more when I go grab her from Cincy on Saturday. Is there a way to tell definitely from the Hull ID? Thanks, Billy |
Anyone had any experience with Atlantic Marine Inc out of Florida? They look to be the most reasonably priced for a long block, if I go that route.
http://powersourcedist.com/Atlantic_Marine.html Still need to swing by my machine shop and ask for an estimate but I doubt they could beat the $1600 that this would be shipped. |
