Re: stringer outdrive
Could it be a volvo/penta? They do look similar. If it's a stringer, parts can be tough to find. But ebay always has some parts on there. Can you test drive the boat? I have a 79 stringer behind a 4 banger. I was shocked at how quiet and absolutely manueverable it is. It's pier manners are spectacular. It will spin in it's own length. I got the boat cheap, if the stringer dies I'll hang an out board off of it. Remember it's a 76. 35 years have passed since it was built.
