I wanted to start a thread with my restoration efforts to the Raven. I thought it may be helpful to novices like myself. My goal is get her out on the water in Cape May in 2025.

Starters can be expensive
It was 350 dollars for a Quicksilver replacement, The one installed did not have the bracket and moved and cracked the housing that was tubbing around the flywheel area.
