If you're ever in Savannah and want some 351 Cleveland parts let me know.

Welcome

I'm sure she does appreciate it. Hopefully the motor is fine. If not I have a couple different options, hell I'll put the Yamaha 150 off the Striper on it if it comes down to it, that motor is perfect. I plan on ditching the Striper anyways.

When it comes time to start on the Allmand I may need plenty of motor parts. The engine in it is seized up and the risers and all look shot. I really wanted to switch it all over to a SBC but not sure if I want to take it that far. But that project is probably a few years down the road. I got the boat for free so before I committed to it I figured it'd be worth the $$ to have a surveyor tell me if the hull was any count. Turned out to be solid as a rock. Seems if I put a new drivetrain in her she'd be ready to go. It was abandoned at my moms marina floating in the boathouse so she obviously floated.
