Winterized pink stuff and muffs by me. 100% my responsibility. 600 hrs. on motors.
Was that $3200 for new motor/intake/manifolds?
II am gonna call Raul w/ rapido. Also, curious about using GM crate motors.
Probably, I'm looking into it. I am pricing everything. I know if I let the shop rebuild and repair, I'm looking at $14,000. I love this boat and just restored everything. Pulled the deck from the hull and resealed and replaced everything. I just don't want to give it up.
Upon summerizing my 88' Sundancer 300 It has been revealed that I have TWO cracked blocks.
I don't know what I am going to do. I am in search of replacement blocks any help is appreciated.
Be sure that all of your fuses are getting good contact. Maybe clean the fuses or spin them in there contacts to ensure good contact.
Did you check the contacts on the switch? they could be a bit corroded and need to be cleaned. My boat sat a long time and I had to clean most all contacts.

Thanks for your reply. You got it...fuel system. I tested for spark and had good spark. I simply poured a little fuel down the carb and bam! that was it, instant fire up and idle.
I was checking the timing on my portside 5.7 merc. I got the timing tuned in just right and after idling for about five/ten minutes the motor just cut out. I started it back up and it surged down rpm's twice and then idled back at 650 and then cut out again. Third start and idled and then died...
Mine has the same foam backed dimpled fabric. I wish it was in good shape so I could leave it alone. I am replacing it with a foam backed marine vinyl. It looks pretty good and it will be easy to wipe down.
I removed the radio cabinet with ease and the upper window shade cabinets. I ran a...
I took out the teak curtain holder up towards to the v-berth. I peeled the headliner back to expose a metal strap that was screwed into the deck to hold the foam backed carpet. This metal strap creates a seam along the ceiling about 12" back from the curtain holder.
It seems that it was...
I had to re-bed my pulpit as I knew it was in need.There are a lot of holes through the pulpit that can leak right at the V. Have you taken off the trim piece that goes on both sides of the V-berth to see if it is coming right at the 1 1/4 inch wood strip that the rub rail screws into?

Yes, I keep a gun aboard due to the high rate of boat-jacking swampmonsters. Also my area has the largest population of sea creatures(some of the most vicious as well).
Listen, I just want my family to be safe. What if I was out of rotten fish to club the monster.I could never forgive my self...
I wanted to jump on that too! :lol:
I just keep my gun on me or right next to me at all times. in an Uncle Mike's sidekick size 5 holster. It's micro fiber comfortable and covers the trigger.
I like the theory of taking the "30 seconds" extra time to load the magazine and then chamber a...

These were exact replacements for my 88' 300da. Good product and fast shipping.
Mine need replaced as well. I just don't want to pull the outdrives just yet.
This website has given me tons of information that may help you as well. Good luck.
