Hello all
Iv'e been lurking around here for a while now and I guess it's time I started to speak up. My boat is a 77 18 ft Lancer (I know, nobody ever heard of it),it looks like a Tahiti but built like crap !! 460/jacuzzi yj (yuck) . Ive had it almost 5 yrs now. Sorry no pics, I hate to even look at it let alone take pics ! I had to have the motor done twice because someone didn't cleanout the oil passeges the first time(pumped metal shavings through the motor

next trip out it spun the front bearing in the jet,had it fixed, next trip same thing this time at the back of the lake and water was flowing into the boat through the bearing

(assembled wrong) . Fixed it myself after that, no more problems . Next trip no problems

, or so I thought, got home and the boat was still dripping water so I look under it and what do I see , a BIG ASS CRACK IN THE HULL

!! So I gave up on this boat/pile of sh#@!!!! And bought the 21 ft Eliminator Daytona in the project boat section with the idea of useing my 460 and a Berkeley jc pump that I have sitting in my garage. So what do you all think of this plan or should I stick with the big ugly outboard ?
