it will last right up to the point of failure. failure will happen when it will be least convenient.

Thats just what i had planned. Because the engine still going strong. And im the last person that worries about being stranded. Cus it doesnt bother me. And i plan on upgrading to a new 350 anyway. The motor i got now is a 1992, 305 that i payed $150 for And the motor i pulled out of this boat was a 3.0.... Which was blown. 1 have less than $1000 invested in this boat. And you would be amazed at how it looks and runs. But i have a lot of time in it.
