Default Re: Just for HAMMER, my latest project(with pics)

I'm located in FLORIDA, the boat was previously in JERSEY(where it sank). I came about it SEPTEMBER 2006 through my buddy who hauled it back to FLORIDA. He bought it on E-bay for $3400 back in NOVENMER 2004 and the guy told him it was a running boat just needed cleaning. He showed up to pick it up on a FRIDAY evening and it wasn't ready for sea-trial like they agreed so the seller knocked off $500 and he drug it all the way back to FLORIDA. He brought it to me to get it running and I found all the bad news as soon as I popped the engine cover off. He owed me some money from a JEEP engine I did for him so he gave me the boat in trade(I know bad deal). It took me almost 2 months to get a title for it, but I finally got the title in my name. So it's time to GET'R DONE!

I'm the one doing the engine work(UNFORTUNATELY), and all of the other repairs. I prefer working on outboards, but this thing is worthless like it sits. Of the 2 engines I picked up last weekend, one of them is free so I'm going to clean it up and set it in there and replace all of the bellows and such to stop the leaks up. It was amazing how much water could come in around the shift cable through that small hole in the shift bellows. And since I've finally got a camera I'm gonna try and make myself take pics.

The one on the left is free, the one on the right is locked up solid. They're both 350 TBI motors, 260HP and about 2001 models.
