Hi, I just inherited an old beachcraft from my grandpa, the motor is shot and outdrive is iffy? I have some numbers if anyone can tell me what and if I can find replacements I would appreciate it.
The foot has:
OMC Stern Drive
model 983159
serial J302519

The motor has 3.8L and
J747708
882STMRONC

any help would be greatly appreciated. I guess what I need is year model etc. and what can be interchanged with them

Hey Bro I can't tell you anything for the numbers BUT I ALSO live in southern Utah. (hurricane) I just finished going through an older OMC sterndrive. I might be able to give you hand.

I can probably give you a little more info if I could See a couple pics.
