    Help! 1976 Mark Twain restore it or junk it?!?

    I did mine in my back yard. I did not pull the cap. I know things are more expensive now. But I got mine done on 2500 bucks. Transom stringers and interior. I didn't have money to spare when I did it so I was extremely tight and focused.

    Just acquired a 170 Horizon. Assembly required.

    Well the oil catch can works. It caught oil. And it gave the boat 2 1/2 extra MPH. I was riding after about 20 minutes the motor sound changed it started to sing along. I thought that is nice burning the crap off in the cylinders. I punched before I went back to the dock and got the number. I...
