Apparently Gellner but don't know what customer told him to do? Have to make it right anyway. Blew oil out valve covers like no rings in it.

Did the boat ever get some 5 blades on it? The right set of 5 blades will TOTALLY change that boat.

Those motors originally started out as Merc 900s. Unless they have been changed they have been apart numerous times for one reason or another. Best of luck getting them rebuilt.

Previous owner tried 5 blades and said it lifted stern too much and was dangerous over 90. I will try more and probably talk to you when I get that far. The engines were 900mercs. Had a few things changed, but they would have decreased power. All in the works now to be fixed and hopefully get the performance back out of it.
