at the request of a fellow member i ran a compression test last night. (not something i would normally do as this usually leads to dissappointment and depression). however in this case, neither a perfect 130 lbs across the board!!!!!!!!. i also ran it as i do once a month. also went perfectly......

Is this motor still available? I found a 71 Seafari O/B in CT that might just be the right boat for this motor...and within my $$$ reach...

Thanks, Rob. We got it back to gator country safe and sound. The Hewes we stopped off to look at on the way home was a bit of a disappointment. I'm glad the old tower of power wasn't.



It's going to hang from my gantry crane until I can throw together an engine stand. Our lovely spokesmodel had the day off, so Willie had to fill in.
