Starboard motor, #5 cylinder had a major malfunction this past Sunday (no compression now).

Finally tracked down the previous owner and turns out he blew the port motor and traded the boat in on a new 353. I was going to rebuild both, but the port apparently only has 10-20 hours on it. You'd think they (dealer) would have mentioned that???

Dave Howard has the boat and rumor has it (lLinster) that the machine shop recieved the bottom end yesterday. I need to talk to Dave today for an update. I plan on picking up the boat and sandblasting the mounting hardware, etc. to repaint and cleaning the bilge and a probable re-paint of that too. If you have painted a bilge, I could use any advice you have.
Call me sometime....
