Did some research on the drive. It was made by Easton and they are very hard to find parts for. I have one source in the midwest where I might be able to get more info on it.
The starter I'm pretty sure I have. I just haven't had a chance to look yet.
I'll pm you with some more info and a phn #
Thanks Hank

Bill: Thanks for re posting Tim's knot for the wire it works great. No more screwin with crimps and all that crap. I was a bit hesitant to use it but I've never had it fail since using it.
Port Bay Tim: I don't run backing. 1000ft of wire is the norm. I run 30lb. haven't run 40. The only difference from the above posts are that I do tie it around the spool with a piece of tape to hold the knot in place when i start to spool it on. Tying it around the spool just gives a bit of insurance.

Ya that pink slip deal is out. That would mean I'd have to give up my faded lures that I'm going to kick your butt with.
We'll figure out something I'm sure.
Leadcore :roll: Na Wire and riggers all the way.
Ya Ya Ya Rub it in. Ya beat us by a few ounces. How many was it anyway 4 or 5... Sides that ya just got lucky. We'll get a private boat to boat wager between us this year on the largest over the 2 days. Ya game?
I was wondering what is Chic pointing at?
Main bearing cap. Ya did good it's even a 4 bolt main block.
And as far as the back hoe and tree with the chain fall. Been there done it. What ever it takes to get er done.

Send the serial # I'll do some research on it as too what c.i. it is. You should be able to convert it over to a new style standard delco with no problems. Jumping out of gear. What kind of drive is on it? i/o with a jack shaft, standard i/o or inboard?

I may have a starter here. I'll have to do some checking. As for the alt.. Is it a delco or prestolite? altho back then it could be anything. Chris Craft used some off the wall parts back then especially with Ford power.

Did this start in the colder weather, or before you pulled it this fall? If you want. Give me a call and I can probably walk you thru it on the phone, or tell you the things to look for. Check your pm's for the number.
