I'm always looking for my next boat!
I have a 19' Grumman SF fishing boat with a 'Rude 70. Good boat, not the best for the St. Lawrence me thinks.
Nice boat, but.....
I thought maybe a deeper "V" and a inboard to troll with, (I have a 5 HP trolling motor hanging off the back now).
I looked at a few boats that fit my need on Craigslist here and there.
Many have Merc 140 4 bangers in them.
All seem to have cracked block or.......
1 or 2 I can think, "well they don't drain the block last winter", but an alarming amount.
Is there a problem with these motors?
If, yes, what is the cure??
Is it really a Buick 3.0 block?
From what years?
Thanks!
