I am considering jumping into a project boat that hasnt been run in ten years. The motor was allegedly rebuilt and new risers bellows etc installed before the project stalled for unknown reasons<br /><br />The hull doesnt leak (supposedly), and the MerCruiser 140 is powered by the Iron Duke GM four banger, which is probably one of the best small engines in the world.<br /><br />Does anyone have experience with the 73 vintage Chieftains? What are some things to watch out for (aside from the usual engine frozen, rams leaking sort of thing?
