thanks for the info guys, i really love this site, very rarely do i find forums where i get such informative and quick responses. i am so proud to now be a part of the Classic Seacraft family. I have found a guy that is going to look over the engines for me and see what would be required (roughly) to get them both ready for the water (since the boat has been sitting for about 1 Yr) after he gives me some idea i will make a final decision. I am leaning toward getting rid of them pretty quickly and moving on. i want to close the transom and put on an armstrong bracket to get ready for the repower i hope to find soon. thanks again for the info and will post some pictures of my project in the pictures forum soon.
