Welcome to the site! Looks like you got yourself a nice one. It looks great. Some will tell you to snatch that 470 out but dont listen to them, they're really good motors if taken care of (like anything else). and they're good on gas!! I've been completely through mine, and learned alot while doing it. Theres nothing complicated about them. If you got any questions, let em fly. I would suggest changing the dist over to a Pertronix electrionic ignition, it really improves the performance of a 470/170 mercruiser. Best of luck with your new boat!!

Wow lots of nice comments about my donated top, thank's.(lol) The funny thing is when I bought the boat it had a custom hardtop on it. Someone used plywood, fiberglass mat, and roofing tar to complete this project. It took 3 hours to remove this hiddious thing and I still have some resin and tar on the sides of the boat and windsheild frame that are proving hard to remove. I have pics of the boat with the hardtop somewhere which I will post when I find them.

I would never put a hard top like that on. I wouldn't be able to stand up. I just need a top like your new one.

The white stuff is the reason the previous owner built the custom hard top.

Good move removing that "top" if you wanna call it that. I like your new one 10x better!
