    Cloth or not

    I have two sheets of 3/4” plywood to laminate to the existing 1/2”, and 3/8” sheets already on the transom. Is cloth or mat necessary or not, between the 3/4” and the sheets already in place and then between the 3/4” sheets. Will be finishing with a couple three layers of Mat on the inside when...

    Keep running across them. And it’s a boat I’m probably going to sell.

    OMC to Volvo Penta?

    The end goal is a cheap OMC replacement. But that boat is not happening so no worry. Also always trying to get up to speed on compatible conversions. I’m also still contemplating my 19’ Sangster I/O conversion to Outboard with a pod.Transom needs to be repaired and beefed up. Need to confirm my...

    OMC to Volvo Penta?

    But if I’m changing exhaust manifolds and elbows its probably not worth it.

    You don’t think it’s to big with it only having the slant six in it before?

    Volvo to Mercruiser

    Looking around at engines a rebuilt 350 target master with a 280 Volvo outdrive is available, and a overhauled 351 Windsor and 188 outdrive are available, a little to much of a leap from the Chrysler slant six and 250 Volvo outdrive? Tried finding HP’s for above.

    Volvo to Mercruiser

    The glassing I’ve done enough of so I’m not worried about that, just cutting the keyhole correct when I’m done.

    Volvo to Mercruiser

    This is a different hull than my other thread it’s a sangster 19” it had the Chrysler 6 and Volvo outdrive. I hate to haul it to the dump. The biggest reason for the 470 not 170 my bad is it’s cheap and runs and it gives me something to do this winter.

    Volvo to Mercruiser

    This boat had a Volvo penta outdrive and Chrysler slant Six in it. I got a 170 mercruiser setup to go in it, would the boat motor mounts work or would they require some modification. I don't have the 170 handy to measure. I have some transom work to do obviously including cutting a new transom hole.

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    Would a 3L bolt up to this 2.5 drive and intermediate housing?

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    Well I’m leaning towards the 3l after all the advice on here. Is the trim tilt off the 2.5 assuming it works any use as a backup for the one that will come with the 3l?

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    Thanks for your help Scott much appreciated.

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    There is a 3l out there I can grab, involves a day drive and $1500 Canadian 500 hours on it blah blah. Would get a comp test first. Guy can run it to. Last question and I did google this with no luck is what’s the difference in Hp between the 2.5 and the 3. I can’t find anything on it.
