Would love to see some pics of it now and after you're done. Are you going to tear the engine down completely or just top end?

The engine is out and torn down to the last bolt....BAD...water in it for 20 years....going to reseal the trans and do all the components...all coolers etc...mag the rudder and prop, just everything....basically the boat is nice it just needs a good clean up and everything disassembled and looked at and all the fuel lines replaced for sure....

Are you doing all the work yourself?
Any engine upgrades planned?
