    Can't see my boat

    your Buick Enclave has a 2000# towing capacity as standard, and up to 4500# hauling capacity if properly equipped. (with a caveat - total capacity) your 2001 Monterey Explorer 220 weighs 3600# dry weight. it has a 60 gallon fuel tank, so full of fuel and gear you are at 4000#. your tandem...

    How do engine couplers work?

    all small block and big block chevrolets have the same bolt pattern for the flywheel housing. so you can swap anything you want in front of the PDS shaft on your AQ drive, its actually a drive plate vs a coupler. think of a clutch disc that is bolted to the flywheel. you still have to...

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    you can, that is up to you. If it was me, I would be taking the heads in for threaded rocker stud conversion, and have the valves modified for the better seals and higher lift cam. Then I would probably drop in a SCAT rotating assembly for 383 cubic inches (6.2 liters)

    Has anyone used this stuff

    same category of CPES, git-rot and other snake oils. no way to magically un rot wood and get the strength back. in truth, it simply makes the restoration harder because you now have to remove this puddle of epoxy and mulch

    GM wont fit. most likely will need to fabricate. the cooling system was probably manufactured by Monitor Products in the 70's notice the plethora of copper fittings and brazed bits. also, looks like the system has been modified to a full system

    When opening throttle, inline 6 speeds up for 20 s and then lose power

    Pontoon Dolphin fin or not??

    of all boats needing a hydraulic jack plate in addition to tilt/trim, a pontoon would benefit the most. since loading changes so significantly on a pontoon, to get optimal performance, you either assign people to sit in one location, or you play with engine height and trim every time someone...

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    no you run the cam designed for your induction. Carb cams are different than EFI cams I would run an XM264HR or XM270HR. out of those two, I would run the XM264HR with 1.52:1 rockers. with either cam, you will need to modify the heads as the stock lift on the vortec heads is only 0.420" max...

    Tr drive swap

    most likely the TR needs a new trans. no, the bravo cant simply be swapped. the transom would need to be replaced first. however with the SeaRay being a 1985, most likely the transom needs to be replaced anyway.
