Bad news on the boat idea
I turns out that the boat I was so interested in, the one powered by a Chevy V-6 with an OMC outdrive, is equipted with a severly outdated OMC outdrive and parts for it are not available. Darn!! It was an example of excellent design and execution in a Bay fishing boat. With the price for the boat and the possibility of having to replace the entire outdrive, it’s not a viable option for me. Looks like the old SeaRay is still the boat of the day.
