Just acquired this project, and am curious if the engine cover/sunpad was originally plywood or some type of PVC board. It needs a full interior and motor box stringers repaired which I am tackling first.
But the 4.3 screams and was showing 160 psi cold compression. So good motor. Outdrive is clean, standard housekeeping required in the form of gimble bearing/bellows etc. And now that the motor is getting plucked to repair the stringers. I'll refresh the paint on the bracket etc.
I was considering going with PVC board (specifically seaboard supreme DS) for the hatch/sun pad and rebuilding the rear bench seat . And also considering their eternabond product for the stringers and bulkheads.
Thoughts?
This is a enjoy this year, flip next year project.
