Thank you for the heads up. I will read through it and take notes for when I get to go look at the boat.

Ayuh,.... It appears you've lookin' at a 2.5l, 120 hp, motor, 'n the MC-1 drive....

I wasn't sure, thanks for confirming Bond-o. Glad it's not a 470!

If I decide to scrap the hull, what is a fair pric in running and non running condition?

Thanks.

470 has the intake and exhaust manifolds on opposite sides of the engine.

Ah yes, the way God intended! I see now in the first photos that the flame arrestor is over with the exhaust manifold, making it a 2.5 (or if it was newer a 3.0).

Ayuh,.... Both motors were available at the same time,...

Look in pic #2, 'n notice there's Only a pulley, 'n No harmonic balancer...

That's the visible Difference, tween the 2.5l, 'n the 3.0l...

Sorry, I was referring to the 2.5. Also the outdrive. I have seen some on CL but not sure what a fair starting point is. I would be selling to get upgrades for the Cobia if I decided to scrap the Galaxy hull.

Thank you;
