I dunno....you can get a long block for about $2200. With all that you have already put into her I think I would fix her. Then if you still want to sell at least your boat will have more value.

I know,lol... but I am done with this one, time to move on lol

Well I hope you get her all fixed up! Looks like a great boat.

But if not, I would be interested in some parts for my own restoration. :smt001

Seams a shame to part it out with all you have done to it and it's seemingly good condition.
If you should decide to part it out I would be very interested in the arch. Just pm me if you go that route please.

I already bought a searay aj 310 so boat is for sale , motor on 270 hydrolocked after an over heating incident a week before, changed impeller, thermostat and waterpump just to feel better, may have caught a bag, thinkin cracked block because she ran great and to temp but went to restart to another fishing location and click clikc. Oil stick double full with the ole white milky items lol and opened valve covers next morning and seen marshmallow everywhere so i was done at that point
