    Thought I'd share some more pics. Do you think this was custom made to the boat?

    Multiple 260s, 270s, and 280s

    So my buddy runs the parts department for a boat company that restores mostly old woodys and classic fiberglass. He said that they are going to be selling off a bunch of 260s, 270s and 280s that were attached to classic Donzi's. As well as a ton of components.

    Terribly stoopid question

    So I will fill in some more info on the situation. We have always known that one is reverse and one is standard. The reverse has a timing gear and the standard has a chain. The reverse has a front seal that pushes the oil in and not out. I just simply forgot where they went in the boat now...

    Terribly stoopid question

    I don't really have a way to run them on the hard. The starter is attached to bellhousing inside the boat. So I know which engine is which. That part I do know. It is which engine goes on the port and which goes on the Starboard side

    Terribly stoopid question

    Its a 1968 Donzi 28 454 7.4L I have the tags on the motors that shows that they are standard and reverse rotation. The motors are not original to the boat. They are 1986 engines. Mine is not the one pictured, but I wish

    Terribly stoopid question

    So I am now at the point where I need to install twin engines in the Donzi. The engines have been out for over a year now, and I am super embarrassed to even ask this question. Now that they have been rebuilt and look identical, I have a standard rotation and a reverse rotation. Does the...

    Sportsman 28 HIN

    I know this is going to be a tough one to answer, but was hoping for some ideas on where to find my HIN I purchased a 64-68 Sportsman 28. The boat has been re-stamped and the title says 1982 because thats the year of the engines after repower. I have had a few different classic models...
