1977 Sea Ray in storage 25 Years!

If that engine was stored properly and had all 8 cylemders fogged, then I would bet the long block is decent. I would pull it and yank the heads and replace the front and rear main seals. Just tear it down to short block. As for the drive, not sure there.

I am also curious about those trucks you found there. What was there
