I hope all is well with you guys. No videos in quite a while. You are missed! I hope the boat held up and you had some great times this summer. Nice find!
I miss them too.. Nice couple and interesting vids.. I'm wondering if some freak was giving Liz a hard time.. I just tripped over this vid, and no follow ups I guess.
Wow, nice boat ! Absolutely check out the water pump, make sure it's cooling. I bought a 95 hp Merc that sat out in the sun, didn't know better and the rubber of the impeller was shot so no water stream came out of the motor and ended up seizing the upper cylinder of the engine. And freeze plugs? Had my 1970 Mustang with a 302 blow a freeze plug on my way to wrk because I didn't have enough anti fteeze. Great video Mike !
The boat looks great my brother-in-law had a Tahiti boat with a 455 olds motor,after the winter we took the boat out to the lake and we launched the boat after a couple of minutes running the boat my too nephews started screaming we’re sinking I looked back and the floor in the back was floating so my brother-in-law beached the boat the kids flew off the boat on to the sand.
Do yourself a favor, Replace the timing chain. If your timing chain goes bad the pistons will hit the valves. Then your looking at bent valve stems and you will need to repair the heads.
