Anyone know if the SX-M upper will work on a DP-SM ? Both were behind 5.7l engines. The SX-M upper i found is advertised as a 1.60 ratio. My DP-SM lower is a 1.95 or 7.
How do i choose props for this out drive? I bought it on craigslist with out props. It came off of a 22' stingray with a 350. I'm putting it on a 20' Glastron gs205. I am building a 383 stroker and hp will be 400 or a little above.I'm pretty sure my engine will be in the 5,500 rpm range topped...
My 98 glastron gs205 is maroon colored and white. I would really like to re gelcoat the maroon with teal. Do i have to sand all the maroon off or can it be sealed and shot over with teal gelcoat?
I see different vortec style heads new with different sized valves and runners. Some are advertised to out flow the stock vortec heads. Some have the 170 and 185cc runners with 2.02 and 1.60 valves. Would these heads be OK for a 383 build? I plan on running stock exhaust system and my outdrive...
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask but here i go. I bought my 98 gs205 with out an engine and am currently looking for one. Would a 400 small block work in place of the 305 vortec that was in the boat or is the flywheel differance going to kill that idea? My drive unit is an sx cobra.
I've been sanding the oxidized gel coat on my boat and have been able to sand most of the scratches out followed up with buffing. I have about 4 areas where there are scratches too deep to sand. They're not down to the fiberglass but deep enough that it will show up as waves in the gel coat if i...
I found this boat in Texas well off the beaten path and drove away with it and the trailer for $580. The engine is gone but most everything else was still there, flywheel exhaust manifolds raw water pump bell housing starter and more. The interior needs reupholstered and a new deck. The transom...
I posted this question in several other forums with out any hits yet. I bought this boat with out an engine. It had a volvo penta 5.0. I want to put a 5.7 back in and am curious what years of engines i am restricted to and why. The out drive is a SX Cobra.
For a 1998 Glastron GS205? I bought the boat last week with a missing 5.0 I plan on building a 5.7 to put back in it and going with a new marine cam. I know the 98 5.7s had the vortec heads and i like that but if i end up buying the heads separate from the bottom end what years for a bottom end...
I bought this boat yesterday as a project boat. Does anyone know how much clearance there is between the carburator and the engine cover? It came with out an engine so other wise i wouldn't be asking.
I just bought a 98 gs 185 with a 3.0 engine. I know these same boats came with different size's of engines. Are the stringers on each side of the engine where the engine mounts bolt up to them spaced the same as my boat that came with the 3.0? I'd like to put a v6 in it but not if i have to run...
