Marinette Boat Forum

I figured I have about $4 k in it right now, engine wise. I will probably have another $1000 in it with shafts and props and misc. items. Yes, the Chrysler's were great engines, after getting all the ign. issues fixed. If I could have found a pair of 360's for around the same price I might have gone...

This past year I decided to replace the original 318's that came with the boat with a couple Chevy 350's. I had replaced a lot of parts on the 318's, manifolds, electronic ign., alternators, starters, wiring, etc. The motors ran fine, but I was looking for a little more power and part availability. ...

I did my stern light bulb to LED, it is a lot brighter, I will definitely change out the forward running lights in the future.

Looks like he said $1300 for both

I suspect that it is not ign. related with all the plugs on that side being wet. To be sure, put a spark tester on each plug wire on that side and check for spark.

All that wood probably added 1,000 lbs. to her.

Sounds a little high to me with all the work it needs. If I were to throw a number out there, $7000.

Marine power, crusader, mercruiser, volvo, omc, and others all used the chevy 350 block. The main difference in all of them is electrical(distributor,alternator, etc.) and exhaust manifolds. I have a '76 28 express and repowered with 350's. I can't give you a brand, because I have the Johnny Cash mo...

I was referring to people moving about the boat while cruising, not when it is rough. I should have clarified. I don't go out with my kids if it is rough. My main point was that I use my tabs all the time.

Depending on sea conditions, the tabs could help out with the prop free wheeling. But the trim tabs are so much more. I would say on a typical cruise, at 25- 30 mph, I use my tabs a couple of times every few minutes. I have 5 kids, and they are always walking back and forth, and side to side, while ...
