I thought the maker was MCM rather than the serial number. Did you get it running this weekend Jamie?

No I didnt get a chance to work on it! Had a few things happen this weekend which kept me away! I have to get a battery and want to change the gasket before crank’in it Up!

MCM = Mercruiser Marine. I think this is being covered in the mercruiser forums?

Gentlemen,
After further review I have decided to sell this boat for parts or whole and buy something not compromised! I never did get the information I was looking for but because of your feedback I?m sure there?s more here then what I bargained for. If I was younger and in better health I may have taken on this project! But after further due diligence it?s just not something I want to take on. I?ve learned a lot and am appreciative of all your feedback! Thanks!

I think for what you paid its still not a bad deal. You got to rip apart a boat, join this forum and will move on to the next boat with a better education and eyes wide open. I did the same thing, lol.

Thanks Raffey! Your absolutely correct! I did have a real boater finally come over and check the boat out and he told me that the boat is ok! He said it?s gonna take some work but this boat is ok to put back in the water once done! But I?m still going to sell it and use the money towards a newer better boat! I have learned and will continue to learn moving forward! Thanks for the kind words man! Good luck! Be safe!
