    Mercury fuel injected

    as long as both motors are 1986 or later however depending on the year, the Volvo Penta may have the 168 toothed flywheel as well.

    Just how many boats did Ebbtide produce? Anybody have any idea?

    if there were records, they usually are not published, or passed on to the next owner.

    Mercury fuel injected

    no problem at all. if you know what you are doing. you would need to make sure the VP bell housing has room for the larger 168 tooth flywheel. the exhaust will need to stay VP (merc manifolds will not line up with VP stuff)

    Flotation foam

    To get strength, you will need to bevel grind back about 6" on both sides of the cut. Overlapping the tabbing on each layer of 1708. Then grind off the gel off the whole transom, and about a foot forward of the transom on the sides and bottom. Followed by another layer of 1708, then fair...
