Hi All,
I'm looking at a really cheap 1992 Four Winns Sundowner 215 in good condition. Engine (OMC 351 Spitfire) has 180 hours on it, interior just needs a good cleaning, all looks good.
Big downside is it's missing the King Cobra outdrive. I know these are difficult/impossible to service, so my hopes is there is some sort of a conversion out there. I'm handy and confident in being able to do a conversion or an entire swap of engine and drive, but the purchase doesn't make sense unless I can do it for ~$2500 or less.
I really like the boat, would be perfect for our family. Is there any hope?
