Default New project since NE aint gonna happen

Well its been hot over here an i want to get out on the water.Dont want one of them small boats so i have been searching.Found this boat locally an it had a new engine 1 1/2 ago an it was at the everett marina. Checked it out an it needed some polishing an it would be good to go. When i meet the guy he said it just need wiring thats why it wouldnt start.So i got my trusty jump pack an the good ole power probe an jumpered the starter make sure she runs.Nope engine froz solid. He just spent 5k an used the boat once an then dad had a heart attack an so he never went out in it again. Just want to sell it now asking 5k with everything in it Crab pots an down riggers an so forth.
He was devistated when i told him the engine is shot i offered 2500. I have like 6 sbc engines sitting in my garage they would go right in. I ran the numbers an its either a 302/327/350 so i will just replace it with a 300hp version so she will get up an go..

He called next day an said its yours if you still want it.So off to the bank an now its mine.

I have attached a few pics its a 27ft bayliner with a fly bridge an complete restoration inside no 80`s orange curtain an seats covers here.

For starters heres how they move them i was in awe



An this is what the outdrive looked like WOW any one want some muscles?



Heres a picture of the engine bay today before i stared to remove it














Had to rename the boat from LOKI to the SS Casey Ann My daughter







The Beer cooler that works very good its an AC/DC fridge



My squinty eyed Wife an my oldest son Jeremy





So im now gonna swap out the engine an put some new batteries in it an go cruise the ocean for a weekend.

Heres the tow rig for the trip if it ever happens. She will tow the boat just fine also



more pics soon of the 90 turbo cummings diesel suburban

The volvo penta 280 outdrive wont hold up to the torque that a small t3 turbo would put out.I already thougt of it. Theres a lot of room in there....
