I just got a boat for free and i'm trying to find out more info so i can get this thing running and back out on the lake. <br /><br />heres everything i have found out so far:<br /><br />Drive:<br />Mercruiser SternDrive Serial # 2731934<br />Engine is a carburated 120hp 4cyl (appears to be a GM)<br /><br />Boat: <br />Starcraft<br />Model # V-160 10<br />Serial # 093138<br /><br />The guy i got it from said it was on the lake 3 years ago and parked ever since. He also mentioned about replaceing the seals on the lower unit (i think)<br /><br />My main questions i guess are: what year, and model is the sterndrive. What year is the boat itself? what seals would i need to replace to get this boat lake worthy again?

My book shows the last serial no. for a 120 in 1969 to be 2791956. My 160 is a 69 and has a SN of 2497444. Yours falls between so I'd assume it's a 69 also.
