1976 23 Inboard

[wendell]

The motor is getting freshened next month. Plans call for a litle bigger hydroller cam and some light bowl and guide boss porting. Also put enough valve spring in it to survive the rare out of water event (over rev). Presently the motor would only spin the 17x17(Modi?) wheel to 3900 WOT. At the 3000rpm cruise it probably wasn't at max efficiency. I think beter MPG, and better top end are realistic.

I'd really like to hear some suggestions on paint to seal up the bilge after media blasting. Ireally it would be sprayable.
