Need some identification on my new boat

[NHboaternoob86]

What I know....
so getting this boat is a project all I know about it is it's an 1970 Evinrude tunnel-drive runabout with a big block I/O. Inboard engine

What does your paperwork say it is.

From the pictures, its a 49 year old boat needing a full restoration

Welcome aboard.

Your big block is a 307 or SBC, unless the motor has been changed.

The outdrive is the weak spot in this oldie. Electric shift stringer with hard to find parts.

Here is some boat info, scroll down to 1970 - http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/index.php?title=OMC_Boats
