    3.4 likely hood of being cracked

    I'm looking for a donor with a MC 3.4, how sensitive to freezing are they? The one in question is reportedly not winterized. We have had enough cold temps to freeze it. It is stored outside. Is it scrap?

    Possible engine swap - 4.3 for 470

    I have a possible boat restore project and one of the pieces is a swap from the 470 to a 4.3. The boat/470 is a 1979, the 4.3 likely late 80's or early 90's. The question is (other than is it even worth it) - can the 470 gimble/out drive be used with the 4.3 or is there improvements to be had...

    Visiting here is bad

    Compare the SS/HL hull vs the larger Islander hull

    For those who have owned/used both of these hulls, what are the differences between them. ie; handling, need more or less power, effort to pull/launch, ease of fishing out of, and type, trolling vs casting vs soaking. I've had the desire to upgrade to a 18 SS, but after seeing all these...

    This is contagious - now I have to get another boat

    I was checking out the latest adds on c-list and just had to buy this, after waiting a few weeks to let it ferment a bit. The old Merc inline 6's are just too cool. This being a 1985 version. An 18 SS is now needed.

    A tale of Three Companies - or an obsession gone wild

    I tend to spend too much time on the computer, often looking of new info. Some of this I had heard before, some is new. Note that Harold Schrock was controlling/running at least 1 of the 3 companies through most/many of the years of interest. Enjoy, Dan A tale of Three Companies 1903 Arthur...

    New guy here, but not new to SC

    I re-found this site and this section recently. This is a very dangerous site, way too many beautifully restored boats that make it contagious to want to buy and work old boats. Nice work to all you guys that have finished a project and put an old boat back on the water. I wish I had found this...
