Just bought this from an estate sale yesterday and am looking for any info on it, primarily on the drive. There doesn't seem to be too much out on the internet about these.

1989 18 foot 10 inch Ski Brendella

PCM Drive Model PCM-40A, serial number 040-4877, ratio 1.23-1

Engine Ford 302 Pleasurecraft Model PRD-PR-L12/PP

The hull is in great shape, interior is all rotted out since it has been sitting for several years outside uncovered. Engine and drive were covered and appear to be okay but we will find out when we try to make some noise with it. I plan on pulling the heads to look around before we start it up and also change the impeller. Anything else you think that I should look for?

$300 for the boat and trailer so I have room to spend time and money fixing it up!

Re: New Ski Brendella Boat - Looking for info

I have the same transmission with a PCM 350 gm. Most engine parts and a lot of seals for the transmission are still available. The transmission will use regular fluid. The shamrock forum has lots of info on your setup. Lots of ski boats used it. I can handle most normal questions on it. I am guessing your is an inboard. If it's the i/o I would scrap it.
