Hello All,

So I am now a proud owner of a Tri-hull Thompson boat with a Mercruiser I/O. This is also the first boat i have ever owned. I just purchased a few days ago with a trailer for only $200 in hopes to restore and get running again. The man told be that it just needs a new header. However there is no header cover and i have no clue what type of moter this is. As Follows is all the info written on boat and motor. If you have any info or tips for me that would be great. I will post pictures tomorrow.

1969ish Thompson Bros of Peshingo, Wisconsin Tri-hull boat.
No 211574
5 person capacity or 1185pds around 17-18 feet long

Motor: Mercruiser Makine only 623 hours
Model No 2663690

Kiekhaefer Mecury
Div of Brunswick Corp
54936 USA

On header it says 3927768 and 768 GM17

Outside propeller it says
Serial No 2566593
Mercrusier Stern Drive.

Thank you all for helping me as I am a newbie to boats.
God Bless!

More info: the boat has a 6 cylinder motor which i believe i can use parts from a 1980s Chevy truck motor? Correct me if i am wrong. Here are some pics at
