Completely new to the whole owning a boat scene. Picked up two Bayliners. One is a 1987 and the other is an 86.
87 is in almost great condition, was in the water last in 2018 and has a OMC 3.0 and somebody stole the outdrive on it from the previous owner. 86 has a Volvo Penta 275 and has the whole drivetrain but needs a lot of work cosmetic wise.
Previous owner said he was going to use the outdrive from the 86 with the Volvo and put on the 87 OMC but completely different setup/brackets. I figure I’m SOL on what he was planning on doing, so I’m just wondering what my options are?
Swap the Volvo into the OMC boat and do what I need to do with the transom or just find a used outdrive for the OMC?
