And it begins.😆 pulled the interior to plan and prepare for the throttle, shifter and wiring. Gonna try and get some of the trailer work done this weekend also.

Interesting🤔 I would assume based on the stamp 225 on the side of the power head that it is an actual 225. I figured late 80s just by how everything looks compared to all the pictures I've looked up. Seems like there isn't a good way to get an actual year then. Is this what is considered a looper?

What do you mean by mid bore carbs? The skeg is on my to do list. As far as the mid length thats not gonna change any time soon. Gonna have to live with it for now.

How come when I look up the late 90s motors the look different. The cowl and carb covers are totally different. Everything I've tried looking up points me to 1992 and older. Is there any way to pinpoint a specific year from any of the numbers on the motor?

Just picked this baby up last week. Already took it out on the water and already have a long list of mods and upgrades.😂 Its a 1983 California Skier with a Johnson 225. Same hull as an 85 commander i used to have. Hull itself is in pretty good shape. It was repainted over the gel from what I can...

Looking for the OMC gurus! Just picked this boat up. The boat is an 83 but from what I was told the engine was swapped in the past. The guy I bought it from doesn't know what year the engine is and it doesn't have the serial tag on the bracket. Trying to figure out what year it is and if it is...

Sold!

BUMP! Make me an offer. I need this out of my way Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Ya I absolutely the day cruiser style. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to get one. I hope it turns out great. Gonna be a lot of learning for me on this one.[emoji23] Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Dang thats crazy. Ya I don't think I want to go through all that hassle. I don't even think I'm gonna take the rub rail off until I'm ready to paint it. Probably just buff it out and leave it as is for a while. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I'm not to far. Im in anaheim. Im sure getting it off is easy its putting back together that freaks me out. Last thing I need is for it to split apart because i did a bad job glassing it back together. But the full access to the bow is kinda nice. Im trying to avoid as much glass work as...

[emoji23] Ya it wasn't fun. I think I'm gonna have to get a hazmat suite to clean out all the grime from the bottom. I still have some floor to remove under the bow. The boat was basically a spider nest when I got it so im really avoiding going under the bow, lol. I don't have the confidence or...

SOLD! Original mercruiser 260 (sbc350) and Alpha One drive. Just pulled out of my 79 spectra. I just bought the boat a few months ago as a project and am switching power. Engine was not running when I got it. I have no idea on the history. It turns over fine. Pulled valve covers and valve train...

If anyone is looking for a small block 350 or alpha drive let me know. This will be posted in the for sale section. I need this out of my way and have no use for it. Original mercruiser 260 set up. Everything goes. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Finally made a little progress on her the other day. My brother and I got the floors mostly ripped out. The we proceeded to remove the engine and drive. Its definitely nasty in here. Looks like its had some bad oil and possible power steering leaks for some time. That combined with it sitting...

Thanks. Its a little more nasty and dirty inside then I expected but the hull is solid and in good shape. Just needs a good wet sand and buff. Im super excited to get this thing going. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
