Re: 1985 18' galaxy bowrider I/O 185 restore

so i started pulling apart the motor the past weekend. found out some bad news i guess not sure if i can rebuild the motor or not lots of rust on the inside of the motor. I couldn't get the head off of it because the head of one bolt is rusted completely and another I cant seem to find a socket to fit it due to it being partially rusted. someone at work told me that i might be able to rebuild it if i could strip it down to just the block and if the pistons and cylinders were still good with no rust then she should be salvagable i will take some pics of the rust when it stops raining enough to get some. any experience with this would be appreciated. thanks
