Yep, only my 2nd boat, first i/o. Learning experience. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yeah I hope not. I also have the cam from this other block, which I hope isn't a goner either. We got the tranny in last night, gotta deliver some wood, maybe tinker with it later. I gotta cut this one boat up and get out of here so I'll be taking the motor apart very soon and I'll take pictures of the crank and cam. I'm also going to end up finishing my bass boat project up after I get rid of this other fiber glass boat. I didn't give up on it.. Just this Star Craft was not suppose to be a project... I repeated my self many times. All I can say is I learned a lot. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Transmission in my truck went. No boat for now. Give more updates once I get rolling again. I winterized it a week or so ago. I took a look at the bill and can get the bill down to about $1100 threw the shop. They had new can listed, new manifold gaskets, carb rebuild, stuff like that I've already done. Right now truck first then boat. Some nice weather we been having. Looking back threw Facebook I had a few nice days last year. I'm at the point where I need to check the cylinders to see if I need to have them bore out or not. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well, started taking the new motor apart... Found that one of the soft plugs had been replaced and had cracked the block... I got no luck... Not a total loss I guess... Got some new parts, new battery, and a heavy trailer I can use for work after some remodeling... I read you can probably jb weld or use Marine tech or something a long that lines... I don't really want to risk doing all the work for the motor just to break and I'm back to square one... Brand new boat from the dealer is looking better and better...

Trailer is solid. Got a new battery out of it, one new tire on it. Couple screw drivers, less corroded blower covers, new hand rails, basically just newer shine stuff, I can sell the wind shield maybe. I got to go threw the out drive. Sludge came out but no aluminium chips. The one on my StarCraft had chips in it... Most likely from shifting at high idle? Haven't done much. Its been down pouring and we have had storm damage. The gauges on the dash are different, the manifold is different and the carb is different... Can I just change the manifold and the carb will switch? Looks like it. My carb has fresh rebuild Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yep. 328 hours but I know this means little with a boat that's been sitting. Has new manifold but needs a elbow which I have brand new and bellows kit. Dump said $70 per ton to ditch the hull. Trailer is in good shape and had new tires. Going to get an alignment tool when it stops raining Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks. Hopefully this works out. Don't seem to be that many 120s left out thereSent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Found this one last night. Looks like no body knew how to do points and condenser on it, plus stringers are gone. Kid kept trying to drive the price up but told him he don't know what's involved, cost, or time for just the fiber glass, much less cost of manifolds and riser...the word stringer and riser probably threw him for a loop... Got the boat trailer and motor for $500. Boats going in the dump, trailer is up for sale if anyone needs a 16' trailer. Getting an alignment tool after work and switching them over the weekend. Hopefully with two motors and 2 out drives I can make it last. Sent from my XT1528 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
