Watch out for those manifolds if they have been welded. Welding on cast manifolds almost always causes warping and therefore leaks... Pictures of your engine would be helpful... Also, do you have an Alpha One Gen One or Alpha One Get Two?

I never rebuilt the engine I have. I got the boat at auction and the engine was in the boat in pieces. What parts are you seeking? If they are just the engine internals then a regular auto parts store should carry what you need. Just tell them that you need pistons, rings, etc. for a 1975...

Take your sample parts to an auto body supply shop (as opposed to a painter) if you want to do it yourself. For example, Auto Body Supplies and Paint Inc in Hartford, CT. Most supply shops can actually mix paint for you to match as they supply the painters with custom colors. Key is to get a...

I have removed the rub rails to restore them so the closest I can get to the original color seems to be under the rub rail. So, I bought the RAL color fan to see if I can match a white to the white under the rub rail. I will have to have a friend come by and help with the match as I am...

Since you are in Seattle, I used John's Fiberglass Repair a little bit south of Olympia. Black Lake area. He did my transom glassing and I had him do some small repairs but mine was wrapped up in the cost of my transom... I took the boat to him...

The problem with Spectrum Color is their high price, for the 1970 to 1979 they want $350 per gallon...

According to Spectrum Color, Sea Ray had one white color "Sea Ray White" from 1970 to 1979.. Does anybody have a color code for a very close match to that white? I am doing new gelcoat or paint from the rub rail up including the deck and hardtops so it doesn't have to be an exact match...

Additionally, what drive is in the boat.??.. Careful with high torque and horsepower... Mercruiser Alpha One good to 300hp max....

I built my own GM 5.7L Vortec from a truck block. Nothing really wrong with a truck long block as long as you "marinize" it. I went with new brass block "freeze" plugs, Xtreme Marine CAM, Double Roller Timing Chain, Roller Lifters, Roller Tip Rockers, and will be putting on Dry Joint Manifolds...

Are you located anywhere near Washington State. I am restoring a 1976 SRV 220 OV HT (Overnighter Hardtop). I am changing to a GM 5.7L Vortec engine and a Mercruiser Alpha One Drive so I have the left over Windsor 351 parts almost complete engine. This was an OMC and those parts that I have...

Thanks. I hadn't gotten a chance to update this morning but it came to me during the night.. One for the sink drain and one for the ice box drain.. Ice box isn't there as I got this as a project boat so no way to be sure but I am pretty certain that is correct... Mine only has an aft bilge...

Anybody know what the two through hull fittings are for underneath the galley? I think one is for the sink drain but I don't have a clue about the second one right next to it. The bilge pump outlet is in the back on the port side so I don't think it is for the bilge pump. Anybody have a...

Anybody have some pictures of the original bow deck hatches and perhaps measurements? This is a resto boat and somebody had sort of fabricated a plywood hatch for the two on the bow so I need to find out what was original so I can get something close to it. Thanks.
