heres a pic of the windshield frame i'm getting and I tried to start the engine before I pull it out and there was no compression in the 3 first cylinders so I pulled the head and there was 3 stuck valves!!!!! broke 2 of them trying to un stick them, I'm pretty sure I'm going to put a modern engine in it

Hey now...just shoot over more pics of the boat inside and out.
Cool looker, best of luck and I'ma following.

Too bad about the valves (they can be stubborn). The stems can probably be coaxed out with some heat and time. Even if you go with a new engine I wouldn't scrap that one. Someone could probably use it. ... Sort of interesting that someone put an alternator on it, most likely had a generator originally.

Thanks for the pictures.

I'm not going to scrap it, I'll stick a modern one in to get me on the water and eventually fix the old Buchanan
