Woody, I saw your post and wonder if you could explain to me what that 454 and B3 are? I have an 1974 240 SRV that I am considering repowering from its original OMC stringer with a 225 hp Chevy. Thanks very much, John
Does anyone have any experience repowering a mid-1970s 240SRV with an outboard on a bracket extended from the transom? Any advice would be appreciated.
Need help finding part for lift mechanism in 1974 OMC Stringer outdrive. Gears stripped at connection between lift motor and lift gears. Any advice on a source for this part?
I have a 240 SRV, vintage 1974, undergoing a complete refurb inside. New plumbing, new v-berth, new electric/alcohol stove, new reefer. Should be able to live aboard, but without any frills or major storage issues.
I am considering repowering 1974 Sea Ray with an upgrade to a factory rebuilt 350 cu in. Chevy tied to existing stringer outdrive, which is in excellent condition. Can anyone share their experiences with this approach, which will run around $2300 compared to $15,000 for new engine and transom...
Curious to know how many single engine boats made the trip, e.g., the 22 and 24-footers. I crossed many times in a sailboat, but am a little skittish about crossing in our single engine 240. Thanks.

I have been restoring a 1974 240 SRV. She is a beautiful boat now. I have replaced the cabin headliner, all cushions, new 110 system, Kenyon stove, refrigerator, carpet, etc. Cockpit has all new vinyl, new cushions, new carpet; fuel tank hoses replaced. 225 HP Chevy purrs like a kitten, but...
I, too, have a 70s vintage 240 SRV WE and am in the process of restoring it. Getting all new deck hardware, carpet and headliner plus looking at repowering. Can you tell me what you have learned about switching out the old OMC for a newer Mercruiser system? Thanks, Seacure
