Hey guys,

Still don't know if this is the best way to do this but I posted something in the Classic Offshore section about my project with the same title. I think I've linked it below properly. Figured what better opinions then fellow Sutphen fans/owners!

Definitely not a URL --> https ://www .offshoreonly.com/forums/classic-offshore/380874-1981-sutphen-33-outrageous. html

Excited to be here!

where are you located?

New Jersey

Nice did you get the hull from Mello?

Welcome! The link you shared looks like the old Inferno 30' Sutphen... do you have more pics you can share here? Excited to follow the build progress.

Finally getting ready to dive into this project over the coming months...

Doing an inventory check, and at first glance, not to make it sound like this is going to be a walk in the park but.... All we need is motors, drives and exhaust and we're good to go!

My biggest issue is I am in need of Merc part #817416A4 This seems to be the bearing assembly housing? The have them online new for around $1000.00USD. Do you guys have any idea how I can use OSO to located this part second hand?

Another question that I have is I'm planning on taking 502 blocks that I already have and bore them .60 over.. is this crazy? I know .30 over is commonplace but is going to .60 pushing the envelope?

Doing my best to ask real questions (and not dumb filler posts) to get to 10 posts so I can post pictures to share!

-Thanks
