hi there, don't know if this is going to work or not, but I need to see if you have the doors on the inside of the front portion of the cabin. I measured the one door I have at 12-3/4 x 11-3/8". I am missing 1 of them. Please let me know if you have one! thanks!

Well folks, I went ahead and bought a mercruiser 5.7 for her.... I wanted a big block, but couldn't find anything in my price range. I found a great deal on a whole drop in package out of Long Beach, CA. I have already taken the boat and the motor to the shop to have the install done. I was...

Hello all, I am missing the latch or connector to my anchor locker in the bow portion of my boat. can anyone send me a picture of what it looks like? Or what can replace my missing one? I don't know if this hatch is the original one that came with the boat, but it is worn pretty bad. thinking...

HI all, I am getting ready to paint the bottom of this boat and wanted to know how many gallons I would need to paint the bottom of my 260 sundancer. I am going with a black. any suggestions? as this will be my first time doing this!! wish me luck?

awesome. that's what he has. 1.5.1. looks like I might be upgrading soon!!

could I use a bravo 1 drive? I found one here in my town for a good price. what gear ratio should I be looking for on this size motor and boat? 1.50?

ok. I have been doing some research, and you are correct... whole different boat with a 7.4. I think I have my sights on a 1999 MPI 454 in my area. he wants 2650 bucks for it. I figure that's a pretty damn good deal for a good running big block.

I would LOVE to put in a big block... I don't think my budget would allow it though... LOL. I think it is going to be a 5.7 and a alpha drive for me. I have seen some big block drop ins that are carbureted for around 3-5000 around California. but then you need to get a bravo drive, and those are...

The floors and transom are solid as a rock... just found out though that they put on a " pre alpha drive". So i am now in the market for a motor AND outdrive.... big $$$$$$..... not looking forward to that. Been talking with a marine shop in missouri though, and he seems to get some good used...

Pulled all the interior recently. Having it all redone!! Pics to follow

just went out and looked at the carb'd 350... junk. I am still on the hunt!! I have been scared away from any fuel injected engines... I guess I will look at all the good ol carbed editions.. starting to get a little frustrating.

ok. I figured that it was a whole different kind of step. I am also looking at a carbureted 1990 260 mercruiser that has the freshwater cooling system on it. the guy wants 300 bucks for the whole boat. it is a 1990 century cabin cruiser. never even heard of Century boats... but it has a...

funny as it is... I ran into a guy down LITERALLY down the street that has a boat in his backyard that he wanted to part out. I open up the engine hatch, and what did I see? a 5.7 mercruiser EFI. has the GEN 2 outdrive. runs and is a 1999 model. I asked him what he wanted for the motor and he...

sorry. My mechanic answered this question already. he said NO WAY!! I tried to cancel post, but I guess it didn't work.

Good Morning All, I am looking for a replacement motor on my 260 sundancer, and have came to some questions about what I can put in without making a whole lot of trouble for myself. I know that the OEM motor is a 350 V8 260hp, but I have not found any good deals around my area. I found a guy...
