Well...your motor has center-bolt valve covers so the heads/motor is an 1988 or newer and roller cam! It is using the old log style exhaust manifolds which are fine. That's quite a project for your first boat but enjoy her!...Mike.
Thanks!
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? And I do plan on upgrading to the "center style" manifolds when I replace them. When I was looking for the thermostat housing, I bought the 1978-1982 style as that is what was on it (I have the old one). Should I be using 88+ parts or 78-82 parts?
Nice! These boats clean up really nice. I see you have the "hanging molding" on the left storage bin, just like I do! Must be a known issue LOL. Do all your cupboard (those door things that slide open and closed on a track - not sure what ya call 'em) pulls still work? A little silicone spray and they'll work like new. I like the bench on the starboard side. Makes it a little awkward to get down into the cabin, but then again, I'm 6'-2", and it's awkward getting down there anyway. At least you have a nice blue interior; mine's yucky brown. Good project, you're gonna love this boat!
