    Help with identifying outdrive

    I have a 78' sea ray I am working on. I am replacing the motor (another subject all together) but I am starting with re-sealing the outdrive as it's a smaller unit. My lower unit appears to be an mc-1 or an R as it has the pre load pin on drive shaft. I believe due to the lack of a retaining...

    80?s green calkins trailer

    I have a green 80?s (I?m assuming) calkins boat trailer. It has very little rust, no rot that I have seen, and good lights. Can anyone give me some opinions on it. I don?t want to put new rollers into it if it?s a cheap trailer, or one that is known to be problematic. I want to say it around 17...

    1987 formula 242 sr1 (I believe)

    I am about to pick up a formula 242 boat. I am needing a motor for my other boat. It is clear from the pics the owner posted that it is a twin engine. From a little research I believe it is an sr1. Seems like they are pretty rare. Just wondering if I have located a rare gem , or strip the boat...

    Bimini help

    I have a boat that is missing the rear support pole for my Bimini three bow. How do I find a replacement or is there a pipe I can use for the job. That would come in handy as I think I have two bent lower pieces as well

    Penta aquamatic 270

    I picked up an 86 Bayliner ciera 2550. It came with a Penta aquamatic 270 mounted and a spare unit. Is this outdrive worth the time to rebuild or is it a problematic pain in the but. I will post up pictures of it once I get it delivered today and up on the cradle.

    I am hoping someone out there has a trailer near me I could borrow. I live in derby, ct. I have no problem traveling a bit for pick up and drop off. It needs to be able to hold a 25? weighing in around 5000 lb.

    1984 Bayliner 2550st

    I have the chance to pick up a 1984 Bayliner 2550 with trailer for free. The boat is dirty as hell from sitting. Ad clearly says no engine but it has the original Penta outdrive. I guess my questions are what kind of motor can I use as a replacement and how hard are parts to come across for it.

    Starting a new/first time rebuild

    I picked up a 1976 Crestliner apollo with a trailer from Facebook. Motor is a Mercury 1500 straight six. The guy posted that the lower unit was broke, he hit a rock and broke the aluminum around the prop opening. He said he replaced the floor and transom, so score. Got it home to find plywood...
