    Need some help just bought 96 chris craft

    Truckeie From your posts you have bought a very difficult parts boat. You would need a fantastic boat restorer person. And a unlimited pile of money. Old boats are not ever close to like restoring a old car. Sell it now. Good luck.

    Buy old unkown parts. Have nice new problems. Been there. Slide your BARE finger into the prop holes from each end. Feel if there is a VERT TINY bump at the edge of either small hole inside of the prop. Cam you see very clearly thru each hole ? No old shear pin parts still in either hole ?

    I give up on a repetitive same exact spot failure. Engines get REPEAT ...HYDRO LOCKS. I was on a cruise. I pulled the plugs and cranked t the engine to blow out water. 3 times on the cruise. No detectable damage to any of the engine parts. Get a different manufacturer !!!
