We've decided to drive up and check out this 1983 17.5' Galaxy Bowrider with a Mercruiser 140. After seeing some more pics of it, it's spotless. It probaby looks like one of Don S or Kagee's old boats. He evidently was a very meticulous man. I guess the guy rebuilt and resealed it in 1995, but I don't know how much runnin it's had since. It's been stored in a garage with a cover on it. I plan on doing a compression, leakdown and pressure checking the drive. I'll be able to try and run it on muffs but I'm not sure I'll be able to put it in the water. My question is what's the procedure for pressure testing this drive? Anything else I should look at while I'm there (even if I can't get it in the water)? Thanks.
