Default Ok, so I bought one...

I had delivered the one from Surry, VA delivered on July 22, then was off on vacation for a week. 1986 V20 Cuddy - 170 stern drive. When I got back, I dove in and started cleaning it up. Fired right up, ran fine... Then I noticed some weeping between the riser and manifold and a faint steam coming out the exhaust. The PO had cleaned up the exhaust elbow and replaced the gasket - so, being cautious, I removed the exhaust manifold and elbow. The elbow has a hole where one of the hold down bolts goes through. So, that's getting replaced. The aluminum exhaust manifold is in pretty good shape except for the #4 exhaust port is slightly eroded. I'm replacing that as well...
The 4" heat exchanger looks fine. I'm also replacing all hoses.

As far as the hull - No signs of damage, no bottom paint.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
