i'd sure like to have a chris craft. but not with a omc drive. fwiw, i love my boat. but it came with an omc set up too. i would not want my boat if it had an omc package in it.
if i were you. i'd research if ya can get parts for that set up. starting with the manifolds. they go bad every now and then. if memory serves me. from what i read, if it's a king cobra omc drive. finding manifolds will be like pulling hens teeth. if ya need some part ya can't get. your pride and joy will be sitting on the hard with no way to get it going again. not a great idea.
ya also say it needs some tlc. how much tlc? this shows a lack of maint. by the previous owner. what else that ya can't see has been neglected.
switched from fuel injection to carburetion
that seems like a step backwards. why would someone do that? (maybe couldn't get parts for it?) + it's modified by someone with unknown skills.
i'd be skeptical of this boat imho.... the omc drive would be the deal breaker for me. top of the line chris craft boat or not.....
good luck in your decision....
