    engine problems

    Hey, just put a BIG BLOCK in it:D.. There are lots of 350's out there, just make sure it is a MARINE engine not an automotive replacement engine. Jasper Flagship or just go to your local Mercruiser Marine dealer, you can get a fully dressed motor and they have a full warranty:bigthumb: Andrew
