Default Re: Looking at 86 Cuddy

Is that 170 a 470 Mercruiser? I have NO first hand expierence with I/O's (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night :)) but I've read that the 470 can be troublesome. Do some research!!! I could be wrong....there's always a first :-/

Boat does look sweet though!

Good luck and hope it works out.

edit: just did a little research on the 470 and like everything else, mixed opinions, some love em and some hate em. It seems the earlier ones were the ones with trouble, not sure what years though. If I remember correctly it was the guys over at classicmako.com that were bashing them.
