    1998 Regal 1700 LSR Advice

    AD, what you see in the pic is the resin/glass/gel busted out as the wet wood underneath swelled up. that hunk of wood sits above the keel void. there is most likely water under the wood. having seen this on many rebuilds, its not a trivial thing.

    the model number comes up as 1989 Ford 5.0 (as Lou indicated) the OMC part number is NLA. however simply take your starter to your local starter and alternator shop and they can rebuild it.

    1998 Regal 1700 LSR Advice

    first, welcome aboard. second, the second pic show some concerning issues as that damage only comes from wet core material that freezes. Wet wood means that is is starting to rot (and will not dry out) Hammer test means nothing. I would start planning a hull restoration. 4th sticky down at...

    Tire Recommendation, Japanese Sedan

    FWIW.....I rotate tires to burn them off evenly. The fronts scrub the outside edges and the rears see a bit of slip now and then. I could get another 5-8 thousand.... However that's not as fun

    FWIW, my buds boat does 18mph with a 30hp. I would think with the correct height and correct prop you should be closer to 30

    What Chevy engine is my 2006 350 MAG MPI Horizon?

    All SBCs with vortec heads have 8 bolts per intake (4 bolts per head). Including the 1988 SBC I warmed over. Stop thinking the marine/industrial motor is same as an automotive offering

    1993 Grew Mercruiser 888

    It will cost you over $7000-$8000 and a year of your weekends to get that boat safe and running. That is $3500 for the hull, $1500 for the interior, $2000 with of motor/drive/rigging with and a bit for the misc. It would be best to simply scrap and spend $8000 on a down payment of a boat you...

    2022 MerCruiser turns-no ignition

    check your MOB switch. it sounds like the MOB switch is tripped which would kill ignition, however allow cranking.
