the boat is powered by an old Tower of Power
I personally would take it on as a project. however that is me.
you can find good running TOP's in the $1500-$2500 range. they do take a mechanical aptitude to keep running it also doesnt take much neglect to loose pistons number 3, 5, and 6. #3...
If the deck is rotten, the stringers and transom long ago rotter
Any fiberglass boat 20 years old or more should be considered a project
Tap test means nothing. Do a drill test and look at shavings
Here is what I would do
Original step is vacuum formed ABS.
It was done in ABS because it only cost the boat manufacturer about $2
So, pull the caps off the screws. Remove the ABS step and use it to make a fiberglass mold. From there make a fiberglass step
It will be about 100 in...
The tube starts as a coil of aluminum at the log manufacturer. From there they uncoil, process, form and weld into the toon log
Call a mobile fabricator to weld up your damaged tube, or weld it up yourself if you own a tig welder and have experience
Welcome aboard
parts for what, motor or boat?
if for the motor, your local dealer or other reseller that sells parts for the specific motor
if you are looking at parts for the boat. some items are generic like latches, electrical components, hinges.
upholstery, windows, dash, etc. are boat...
the 3.0 base engine is 365#
after all the other marine bits are added its about 480 for the bobtail
the transom plate, gimbal housing and cylinders are about 80#
the outdrive is about 75#
you cant compare weight alone, you have to compare loading
someone has been playing with wiring
the aftermarket non-marine circuit breaker zip-tied to the side is not factory
factory wiring diagram can be found in the factory manuals
what engine failure? be specific
first, check your compression on each cylinder. a good/new engine is 150 psi per hole
what is your timing?
what is your fuel pressure?
when was the last time you cleaned the carb?
is your throttle opening fully?
have you tried google on the weight?
you know that load paths are different between I/O's and outboard right? vs a setback bracket, you should look to replace your center tube with one designed for an outboard.
you can get 3 liters and drives in rotted out bayliners for dirt cheap if you are...
no, not even the same manufacturer.
most likely you have a prestolite distributor, the automotive distributor was an AC Delco
clean up what you have, use oxalic acid to remove rust
