Re: 1979 18` holiday v5 470 mercruiser
I don`t know what all the fuss is about this 470
or maybe just luck
Had to do engine driven water pump (leaking at weep hole)
chargeing system still works great (rotor and stater)
engine temp perfect 160 deg
hulls good no water after 6 hours
I`ll run it hard all summer and then I will restore it to showroom condition
this fall/winter
have not got GPS speeds yet but cruises at 35mph
(WOT) 4200rpm 44mph
