Hi Everyone
Its been awhile since I have been on the forum, I got my boat fixed and up and running. I have however taken on a job for a friend who overheated his inboard 454. There was water in the crankcase, water in all the cylinders. He found that the impeller was shot and replaced it...
Guys, first I want to thank everyone who has answered my stupid questions over the last several months. I just bought an 84 seaswirl with a 4cyl merc with a merc out drive. It had a low cylinder and I got it cheap because of that. It ended up being a bad exhaust valve which I have already...
Guys, after every ones help I finally bought a 84 seaswirl with a 140 horse merc and merc outdrive. Got a deal on it but it has low compression in the number 3 cyl, only about 50 psi. The other three were at 115 lbs. Took a chance and hope its just a valve. It runs pretty good for having a...
Hi guys. I'm looking at a 16 foot Glastron with an 850 merc on it, I believe there both a 1976. Hows the 850 merc, good, bad, or indifferent?
Thanks everyone!!

Thanks again, Wes.
Hi Guys, I'm looking for some opinions here, so far this forum has been great. I am looking at 75 Glastron tri hull tomorrow. It has a 50 horse Johnson O/B on it. Don't know anything about these engines. Are they decent or are there things to watch out for.
Thanks, Wes.
Hello guys, well I passed on buying one boat a few weeks ago and am now looking at a 1977 Glaspar with a 4cyl GM engine with a OMC out drive. The guy said he only uses it for fishing. Pictures show it to look in pretty good shape. My questions here are there two different companies or do...
Hello
