I purchased a 1969 31’ Uniflite Flybridge Cruiser. In 2014 I got the boat home, after having sat for nearly 6 years unstarted and floating at a marina. I was able to get one engine started and limped her to a repair marina to have the hull scraped, sanded and inspected. All good. New zincs and a little work I had the starboard engine running, In the past four years I have had all 4 heads pulled and machined, I have replaced all the manifolds, risers, heat exchangers, new carter afb carburetors, new fuel pumps, new engine water circulators, new marine alternators, new electronic ignitions, gutted the helm and all gauges and wires replaced with Faria gauge sets. New stuffing boxes, shaft couplers, and strut bearings. It’s been a wild four years. Now I am hoping to Install a windlass but need some advice on sizes and types.. Anyone have any suggestions.
