not sure were you are but this looks like a great starting point. http://richmond.craigslist.org/zip/3279615033.html

Welcome if you do go forward with redoing the boat I would either do like chris said and find a donor boat or redo the transom and put an outboard on it. OMC can be hard to find depending on what drive it had but get a donor boat with all the same equipment and you should be set. it will be a...

my worst fear is my wife telling me I have to sell my boat!

Welcome, the tach not working can be as easy as a loose wire or bad ground. so no a non working tach is not a reason to run. Boat motor are just a beefed up car motor. Glastron makes a great boat. If you have worries about the boat after the test run have it looked at by a boat accessor or...

well my wife was off yesterday so I spent most of the working on the floor and besides some trimming and sealing it is in.* I will say that these boats a put together not all that well.* it has two full length stringers on each side but they are made out of 1/2 inch thick ply wood.* I have a...

sounds like you got a great deal!

welcome, older jon or rowboats did not have a max hp rating on them or a hin. most were never planned on having a motor on this. You should be fine with a anything under 20 hp but it depends on the boat set up and how comfortable you are. good luck on finding info and if I see anything I...

makes since I would go with a two barrel.

there will be a lot less torque from the v6 compared to the inline 6 engines. there will be more torque with the two barrel. not sure if you will see much better gas mileage with a single barrel because as you will probably be hammer down more of the time. a v8 would be more fun and would...

nice check list

if it has twins you could either have a back up, parts or sell the second set up.

do a good flush to make sure you do not have a blockage somewhere.

I know what you mean. I have the same problem.

buy a project junk boat with all the drive stuff still there (I would suggest a bayliner no one is every sad to see those getting cut up). then you can sell the trailer and make back some of your investment. loose motors and outdrives are usually more expensive as they were removed to sell to...

Been there with having two project boats and when we moved I had to pick one. it hurts more to let one go than it does to focus on the one you have.

sorry to hear that she is still giving you issues! that is part of the reason I lost the fuzzy feelings about my 72 century Coronado. every time I would fix something something else would go wrong. I never had the money to just redo everything from the ground up. good luck and I hope you get...

that is a beautiful boat!! welcome to the forum!!

it is always sad to any older wooden boat be cut up. there are some fiberglass boats that can be cut up even if they are in perfect condition (bayliners come to mind).

that is a cool boat.

awesome. glad to hear it was an easy fix with no major repair needed!
