Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Chain broke!! Motor fell!!
« on: August 10, 2009, 12:03:55 AM »
Ok the the lifting eye bolt broke and motor fell about 2 to 3 feet. :banghead:I diddnt find the damage until installing mount bracket. didn't break off but cracked across lower bell housing, will welding it be risky?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: what cam specs would you recomend?
« on: August 08, 2009, 10:50:13 PM »
funds are limited!! I looked on summit and they have their grinds w/lifters, at half the cost, but I have gotten used to walking in to stores for certain items. This is MY first v-drive build. I have done many Merc, volvo,and indmar warantee repairs and replacements over the years. I should have a house with a garage in a couple of months, then I can spend the money and do it right! I usually build my BBF's 460s for 6000 rpm to be safe. But this is a 16' v-drive, so I dont know what to shoot for.

« on: July 25, 2009, 07:56:43 PM »
I know I was warned!! 
so I paid 200 for it. 
now I have it home and Im learning things! the casal has no shifter, so does that mean it needs a trany? or its in gear at all times? Its got lots of stringer rails and other stuff! so Im looking to buy stuff! does any one have a w/pump and v style timing cover for a 455 olds. any one know what hull this is?

I kinda had that feeling! we have 2 boat yards and 1 excellent glass shop (capa-quarius) here on bethel island. Melgozas in antioch specializes in woodies, their expensive, but would that be a better place to go?

I was looking to get a v-drive but I just found out my other boat (30' chris craft) has a bad plank! I cant afford to fix the old girl! bout 1200 plus bottom paint! so I'm thinking of cutting down to 1 good delta boat! but I think your right that cobalt is prob a tank! it's probably the one with a power front windshield! the early ones were built like DESTROYERS!!!
