My first real offshore boat!

My first real offshore boat!
I just bought an '84 Fountain 10 Meter from mshea. Great guy to deal with (bent over backwards for me).
The boat is awesome overall. I need some guidance on motors. And, I am looking for updated throttles, dash, and guages (used is ok- It still has the original Morse controlls!).
I'm psyched!

Bryan - welcome to the Fountain owners forum!
There are some good sites out there to go "fishing" for parts:
http://www.cpperformance.com
http://www.dolleroffshore.com
http://www.eddiemarine.com
Also look at mshea's thread on cockpit/interior/dash updates:
http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...threadid=68399
Randy at Cobra Power has a TON of used engine parts, brackets, and misc stuff from re-rig jobs. He's hooked me up on a few occasions.
He's at http://www.cobrapower.com
We want pictures!
Congrats!

Bryan...........If you look under his thread" engine recommendations for a 84 10 mtr" I did tell him I have a pr of spare engines that are single carb 588 cu in 750+ hp COMPLETE oil pan to flame arrestor, (no accessories) The engines are currently dissambled for inspection. I was considering putting in blower pistons and adding superchargers but, these engines REALLY rock with the combo they have!!! In a friend of mines 38 gun, we ran 89 on both gps's. I know my 10 mtr will run at least 100 with them in it. They are spares, and I would consider sellin them.

10X,
Thanks. I'm looking for something a little more tame as I don't think that I can afford motors like that. I need to get the boat home before I buy power. I'm not sure what is up with the power that is in it (maybe cracked blocks). I'm looking a Fri. to have it home.
I'm looking to buy white dash/gauges/throttles though...

I'd jump all over that
